China Port Industry Rresearch Report 2007

The Chinese main ports from January to August in 2007 have completed the cargo throughput 3.447 billion tons, which were up 15.7% compared with the corresponding period last year, and the containers’ throughput has completed 71.9706 million TEU, up 23.1 per cent year-on-year; the expectation of China’s container throughput will exceed 100 million TEU in the whole year 2007.


There is still a certain gap between the existing port throughput capacity and the demands from domestic and foreign trade growth. Therefore, there will be more ports are required in the next few years.

The integration of resource is a certain stage for the port industry development and it will become a long term trend in China port industry

Apart from the external expansion through the extension of the port capacity and improve performance, also, how to increase the rate of terminal operators are one of the most effective means to improve the performance.
