Shangahi's New Port Will Be the World's Largest
Chinese contractors have wrapped up the first phase of Shanghai's multi-billion-dollar Yanghsan deepwater port. Cranes began unloading cargo on Dec. 10 from the first of the project's eventual 32 berths. Contractors reclaimed 26 million cu meters of land in islands in the Qiqu archipelago, tucked in the mouth of Hangzhou Bay, to build what will be the worldÕs largest container port (ENR 8/23/04 p. 26). It is connected to the mainland by Donghai Bridge, a 32-kilometer-long causeway that includes five cable-stayed spans allowing ship passage. A multimodal transport hub and new town on the mainland support the new port.

Hello,
The Port of Shanghai is the world's largest based on the amount of cargo handled, ahead of Singapore and Rotterdam (Europe's biggest port)
The Port of Singapore is the world's largest in terms of shipping tonnage (in other words, in terms of how much volume the ships arriving/leaving the port have)
Rotterdam used to be the busiest and biggest port in the world for a long time (although cargo-wise, Hong Kong was number one for some time too) until Shanghai and Singapore surpassed it.
Rotterdam is still the biggest non-Asian port in the world.

rotterdam handles highest cargo,
hongkong/singapore handles highest box cargo
