China recorded 20 ports each with a cargo throughput exceeding 100 million DWT in 2009, according to the Ministry of Transport (MoT), Xinhua reported.

 

Four new ports joined the 100 million DWT throughput levels in 2009, located respectively in Jiangyin city in Jiangsu province, Xiamen in Fujian province, Zhanjiang in Guangdong province and Huzhou in Zhejiang province.

 

The ports in Jiangyin and Huzhou are both inland river ports.

 

China had 12 100-million-DWT ports by the end of 2006. The number increased to 14 by the end of 2007 and 16 by the end of 2008.

 

In 2009, major ports in China handled 6.91 billion metric tonnes of cargo, up 8.2 percent year-on-year. Shanghai ranked the world's top in cargo throughput, handling 590 million tonnes of goods.

 

Chinese ports are expected to handle 125 million TEUs of containers this year, up about two percent from last year. And the cargo throughput of large ports is projected to reach 7.9 billion DWT, up about 13 percent year on year.
