In 2017, global port activity and cargo handling of containerized and bulk cargo expanded rapidly, following two years of weak performance. This expansion was in line with positive trends in the world economy and seaborne trade. Global container terminals boasted an increase in volume of about 6 per cent during the year, up from 2.1 per cent in 2016. World container port throughput stood at 752 million TEUs, reflecting an additional 42.3 million TEUs in 2017, an amount comparable to the port throughput of Shanghai, the world’s busiest port.
