List of busiest container ports

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of the world's busiest container seaports, total mass of actual TEU (in thousands) transported through the port. This list contains all ports that transported more than 2,000,000 TEU (Top 50) in 2007.

Note: "TEU" stands for "Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit," i.e. a 20-foot (6.1 m) long shipping container. Thus a 40-foot (12.2 m) container is 2 TEU.
