Ultra-large container ships are usually 400 meters long and have a capacity of over 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).

Key Points: 
  • Ultra-large container ships are usually 400 meters long and have a capacity of over 20,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU).
  • The port has also handled 200-meter-long container ships more than 3,900 times, a 7-percent increase year on year, CMG said.
  • However, the unloading rate at the Qingdao Port increased by 16 percent from January to November, thanks to the port's record-setting intelligent system.
  • However, China's major ports have seen an increase in throughput and made significant progress in digital and intelligent construction, thereby playing a leading role in the intelligent development of ports globally.
