Shanghai International Port Group runs a complex that in 2025 handled about 55.06 million TEU, up 6.9% and the world's busiest box port for a sixteenth straight year. Operations split across three zones — Yangshan, Waigaoqiao and Wusong — with the fully automated, deep-water Yangshan terminal alone handling roughly 52.1 percent of boxes and growing 10.4% on the year; its Phase III terminal topped 10 million TEU for the first time. The complex fields 49 container berths, 176 ship-to-shore cranes and 7.58 million square metres of yard. For freight forwarders this translates into unmatched sailing frequency: virtually every global carrier calls here, and international transshipment grew 10.6 percent in 2025 to 7.92 million TEU. Cargo spans dry and reefer containers plus breakbulk and project pieces, cleared through Chinese customs with full international documentation. Hinterland reach runs along the Yangtze inland waterway, an extensive rail grid and motorways deep into central China. When Shanghai slots tighten, Ningbo-Zhoushan to the south and Shenzhen's Yantian offer practical alternatives.
