In August, the port of Shanghai, known as the world’s busiest for container traffic, achieved a new single-month record by handling 5.02 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units).
This record performance is credited to several factors. The typical peak export season, which runs from July through September, contributed to the surge. Additionally, an increase in container volume between China and the United States helped drive the numbers up, maintaining a steady growth in box throughput for the port.
