On 13 October 2026, People's Daily Shanghai republished Jiefang Daily figures: Shanghai Port completed 5.135 million TEU of container throughput in September 2026, up 6.2% year on year, setting a new monthly record.
Mingdong Terminal handled 30,056 TEU in a single day-and-night cycle, a new internal operating record. SIPG said the monthly print followed recovery work after three strong typhoons (Bavi, Dolphin, Sadr), with customs, maritime and border units helping clear backlog vessels, improve export gate-in and transshipment box moves, and shorten non-working wait time.
During the National Day holiday the port kept production coordination on duty and handled 1.15 million TEU, up 1.3% year on year. SIPG also flagged further digital and smart-port upgrades and closer Yangtze Delta port cooperation to support global supply-chain stability.
