Singapore retained its title as the world's busiest port last year, with container cargo handled by its terminals reaching 25.87 million TEUs.   But there was little daylight between Singapore and second-placed Shanghai, which saw 25 million TEUs crossing its busy wharves.   Hong Kong retained its place as third busiest port handling 20.92 million TEUs, Shenzhen was next with 18.25 million TEUs and Busan fifth with 11.19 million boxes.   The port of Guangzhou came sixth with 11.3 million TEUs, tailed by Dubai with 11.15 million TEUs, according to a report by the Organisation of Asia Pacific News Agencies (OANA).   With the exception of Guangzhou, the world's 10 biggest ports logged negative growth in the aftermath of the global economic recession last year.   Cargonews Asia
