In 2025, China's port cargo throughput was 18.3 billion tons, and container throughput was 354 million TEUs, ranking first in the world. This is the news the reporter received from the Ministry of Transport on the 11th. On the morning of the same day, the Ministry of Transport held the 2026 China Sailing Day home event in Beijing to announce the latest industry policies, practical results, etc., and invited representatives of the maritime industry to share stories. Since the 14th Five-Year Plan, China's comprehensive shipping strength has reached a new level. China's international shipping volume accounts for one-third of the world's shipping volume, and the size of the Chinese-funded shipping fleet is 490 million dwt. Sixty automated terminals have been built and put into operation nationwide. The fastest stand-alone operation efficiency of the automated terminals at Shanghai Port and Qingdao Port exceeds 60 natural boxes per hour, which is currently the highest level of port handling efficiency in the world. The national electronic waterway map has been published with a mileage of nearly 20,000 kilometers. Basically, a “map” of the electronic waterway of the Yangtze River system with branch connectivity and river and sea integration has been built; the Xijiang Main Line and the Jiangsu section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal have achieved full coverage of the electronic waterway map.
