First glance at the graph, its not hard to see China has well and truly firmly established itself as the worlds most important container shipping market. The Shanghai gradient stands out significantly with a substantial growth of 11,590,000 TEU's over a four year period.
It appears the once rapid growth of containers in Taiwan during the early 90s has slowed down to a steady average of approximately 9,800,000 TEU's over the four year course. With the exception of a small drop in numbers for Taiwan during the 2004 - 2005 period, one thing is very clear, all other Ports have increased there numbers of TEU's processed annually.
Dubai and Hamburg are portraying a steady growth trend, whilst Rotterdam and South Korea are managing to creep that little bit higher each year. -Matt
