Port Klang, which some years ago
set its target of becoming 10th largest
container ports, slipped further last year to
15th position in the ranking of top global
ranking of container port in 2006.
The ranking, a notch below Guangzhou and a notch
above Tianjin, was based on the review of the
top 20 world container terminal which handled in
excess of 200 million teus last year.
However, Malaysia’s fast growing container port,
Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas retained its 2005
position last year.
The port which handled 4.8 million TEUs last
year retained its 19 position.
Ningbo and Guangzhou are moved up their ranking
in 2006.
The fast growing Ningbo port handled 7 million
TEUs and moved up three places from 15th
position to 13th biggest container ports.
Guangzhou which handled 6.6 million teus moved
up four places to 14th position last year from
18th place the previous year.
Ports in China revealed dramatic improvements
consistent with the booming economy.
A total of seven Chinese ports joined the league
of top 20 world container ports, handling 83.6
million TEUs, accounting for 41 per cent of the
total share handled at the major top 20 ports
last year.
Hong Kong was second in the league, Shanghai
