A new heavyweight record has emerged on the global shipping map by the coast of the East China Sea. In 2025, Ningbo Zhoushan Port, with an annual cargo throughput of over 1.4 billion tons, not only maintains its position as the world's number one port for the 17th consecutive year, but also becomes the world's first port to cross this milestone. Its continuously extending routes and innovative logistics network are reshaping the flow path of global trade.

1.4 billion tons and 17 consecutive championships

The latest data shows that Ningbo Zhoushan Port will achieve a cargo throughput of over 1.4 billion tons by 2025, making it the first port in the history of global port development to reach this level. This is the 17th consecutive year that the port has ranked first in the world in terms of cargo throughput, consolidating its leading position as the world's largest port. Iconic scenes include the regular unloading of 400000 ton giant ore ships at the Shulang Lake ore transfer terminal, highlighting its super ability to handle bulk commodities.

Radiating globally and deeply connected hinterland

As an international shipping hub, Ningbo Zhoushan Port has established a dual network that connects the world and the inland. At sea, the total number of container shipping routes has reached 309, directly connecting over 700 ports in more than 200 countries and regions worldwide. In the land direction, it has successfully built a strong sea rail intermodal transportation system, opened more than 110 routes, and covered 69 prefecture level cities in 16 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities in China. By 2025, the sea rail intermodal transportation business volume will exceed 2 million TEUs, efficiently transporting the economic momentum of the sea outlet to the vast hinterland.

Dual fast logistics and the new Arctic channel

Faced with the complex international shipping environment, the port continues to promote breakthrough innovation in logistics models. Among them, the European Express service has achieved normalized operation, shortening the voyage between major ports in China and Europe by more than 10 days, and seamlessly connecting with the inland sea rail intermodal network, forming a unique "sea rail intermodal+China Europe Express" dual fast logistics model. More strategically, in September 2025, the China Europe Arctic container fast shipping route will be launched, opening up the fastest new sea route from the Yangtze River Delta to Europe through the Arctic Ocean, providing a crucial new option for the stability and resilience of foreign trade supply chains.
