Shanghai Port continues to be upgraded

The second phase of China's first systematic container port renovation project kicked off at Luojing Port in Shanghai on Aug 7, aiming to strengthen the port's position as a hub and support the nation's dual circulation development and high-level opening-up.

As one of the city's major transportation projects, the automated container terminal at Luojing has been refurbished from a traditional port mainly used to transport bulk cargo like coal and ore.

With a designed annual capacity of 2.6 million TEUs (20-foot equivalent units), construction of the first phase of the project was completed in December. Shanghai Port has maintained its position as the world's busiest container port for 14 years.
