Daily Chart: the world’s largest container ports. Singapore nabs the top slot.
The displacement of Europe and the US from this list by China (and Asia ex-Japan more generally) is less interesting to me than the fact that the volume moving through the busiest port in the world 20 years ago wouldn’t make the top 20 today. Incredible explosion in world trade.
