Shanghai - Against a backdrop of sluggish global economic growth in 2025, the port of Shanghai’s annual container throughput exceeded 55.06 million teu, representing a year-on-year increase of 6.9%.

International transshipment volume of the port reached 7.92 million teu, up 10.6% year on year, further strengthening its reach and influence as a global hub.

SIPG’s high-efficiency logistics corridors have become a core engine supporting international trade growth. Notably, the Yangshan Deep-Water Port Area recorded year-on-year throughput growth of 10.4%, accounting for 52.1% of the port’s total volume and setting a global benchmark for the operation of ultra-large deep-water port clusters.

The annual throughput of Yangshan Phase III Terminal exceeded 10 million teu for the first time, further reinforcing its role as the hub’s core pillar.

In 2025, the port of Shanghai became the world’s first port to bunker domestically produced green methanol for international trading vessels.

In the face of profound shifts in the global economic and trade landscape and accelerating industry transformation, the port of Shanghai has further consolidated its leading position as a world-class shipping hub through comprehensive advances in lean operations, capacity expansion, intelligent and green upgrading, and coordinated empowerment, stated the port. Looking ahead, SIPG said it would focus on strengthening hub resilience, unleashing innovation-driven growth, advancing green transformation, and expanding openness and collaboration.
