CHINA'S NINGBO-ZHOUSHAN PORT SEES RECORD CONTAINER THROUGHPUT IN 2023
January 2, 2024

The Ningbo-Zhoushan Port in east China's Zhejiang Province has reported a record container throughput this year amid continued economic recovery.

 

The port handled 35.05 million standard containers in 2023, a year-on-year growth of 5.5%, state media reported, citing data from the port operator.

 

Xinhua said the port has become the third port in the world, after the ports of Shanghai and Singapore, to achieve an annual container throughput above 35 million standard containers.

 

Ningbo-Zhoushan Port has more than 300 container routes, of which more than 250 are international routes, connecting more than 600 ports in more than 200 countries and regions.

 

The port also offers sea-rail intermodal transportation business, connecting 65 prefecture-level cities nationwide and having handled 1.65 million standard containers this year.

 

Beibu Gulf Port sees record container throughput

 

Separately, Chinese state media noted that Beibu Gulf Port in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region also reported record container throughput in 2023.

 

The port handled over 8 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containers last year, up from around 7 million TEUs in 2022.

 

Citing data from the Beibu Gulf Port Co., Ltd., Xinhua said the port has recorded double-digit growth in container throughput for seven consecutive years.

 

In recent years, the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership have brought the port great opportunities.

 

The port now has 76 shipping routes, including 48 overseas ones.
