Dynamar recently published its annual flagship data report “The Millionaires” which focuses on ports worldwide handling over 1 million TEUs per annum.
It’s probably no surprise that the busiest ports in the world are all located in China, which boasts 25 ports in the listing. Italy features three container ports: Genoa, in 69th position with 2,622,200 TEUs handled in 2017, a 14% increase on 2016; Gioia Tauro slipped down to 74th place from the 56th position gained in 2016, with 2,448,600 TEUs , a 12% drop on the previous year; whilst La Spezia rose to 103rd position worldwide (up 6 places from 2016), having registered 1,473,600 TEUs, a 16% advance on 2016.
