Remarks
Shanghai has a highly developed economy, its annual industrial output value constituting half of the national total. 99% of Shanghai's foreign-trade goods are handled by its port; its annual passenger traffic and cargo throughput rank first in China. Shanghai has established trade relations with about 160 countries and regions throughout the world and served by 20 international shipping lines.

General Information
Shanghai is the largest port in China. Being the centre of China's coastwise traffic, the Changjiang River Traffic, and ocean shipping and also being a water - rail intermodal transport juncture, it is a comprehensive and multi-propose commercial port and one of China's main foreign trade ports, however, access to the port is restricted by its limited depth. Even with dredging, there may be difficult in accommodating 6000 TEU ships. Ningbo's Beilungang may supplement Shanghai to cater for the large container ships. Shanghai Container Terminals (SCT), a joint venture set up by Shanghai Port Authority and Hutchison Whampoa Ltd, owns and operates all container facilities in Shanghai.

Communication
The Changjiang River links the port to inland provinces and its central coastal position gives access to all Chinese ports north and south. The Beijing - Shanghai, Shanghai - hangzhou and Zhejiang - Jiangxi railways link up with the national railway system. The highways network radiates out in all directions to inland provinces. A number of new bridges have been built to link up the various port area.
