SHANGHAI overtook Singapore as the world's biggest container port for the first time in 2010, handling 29.05 million TEUs (20-foot equivalent units), city officials said yesterday.
The city handled about 500,000 TEUs more than Singapore last year.
Shanghai's container throughput totaled 25 million TEUs in 2009, the world's second-largest.
The economic recovery and the boost from the World Expo helped the city's container and cargo throughput, officials said.
Shanghai's cargo throughput hit about 650 million tons in 2010, remaining the world's biggest. The city handled 590 million tons of cargo in 2009.
