BEIJING (AFX) - Shanghai port is expected to handle 443 mln tons of cargo this year, ranking it first in the world, the International Finance News reported.
That compares with 382 mln tons handled at the port in 2004.
The report quoted a source at the Shanghai Port Administration Bureau as saying that container throughput at the port will be 18.1 mln twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in 2005, up from 14.55 mln last year.
Shanghai will remain the world's third-busiest port in terms of container traffic for 2005, behind Hong Kong and Singapore, the report added.
