The Largest Ports in the World by Container Traffic
Container traffic refers to the transportation of goods in standard-sized containers that can be easily transferred between different modes of transportation, such as ships, trains, and trucks. Containerization revolutionized the shipping industry by providing a standardized and efficient way of transporting goods around the world.
Container traffic has grown significantly over the past few decades as a result of globalization and the increasing reliance on international trade. According to the World Shipping Council, approximately 802 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containerized cargo were shipped globally in 2020.
Container traffic is an important indicator of global trade and economic activity. The volume of container traffic is influenced by factors such as consumer demand, manufacturing output, and transportation costs.
