Maritime Logistics via the Port of Shanghai: Routes, Terminals, and Solutions

26 June, 2025

Ever wondered how Shanghai became home to the world's largest container port? From its early days in the late 19th century to its current status as a global leader, this port has seen it all. And in 2005 it reached the first place with a cargo turnover of 379 million tons, surpassing Singapore.

Its main operations include efficient cargo handling, secure storage warehouses for various types of cargo, and required tugboat services for guiding massive ships in and out of the port.
The port has approximately 14 working areas, including Yangshan Port, the deepwater port, which can accommodate cargo ships with a draft of more than 15 meters, and Pudong International Container Terminal, located in the Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, which has three container berths with a total quay length of 900 meters and is equipped with special refrigeration facilities as well as warehouses for dangerous goods.
