World Major Ports - INI
World major ports are critical logistics hubs supporting international trade. As of 2024, the Port of Shanghai became the world's first port to exceed 50 million TEU annually, maintaining its top position for 15 consecutive years. Asia accounts for approximately 70% of global container traffic, with China holding a particularly dominant position. These ports serve as the backbone of global supply chains and play an indispensable role in economic development.
