Top 20 countries of container port traffic






























Port container traffic measures the flow of containers from land to sea transport modes., and vice versa, in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), a standard-size container. Data refer to coastal shipping as well as international journeys. Transshipment traffic is counted as two lifts at the intermediate port (once to off-load and again as an outbound lift) and includes empty units.

According to the data in 2011, the busiest country handling the traffic of containers is 
China, with about 140 million TEUs amount overwhelming the followers like United States, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea. 

The table above shows top 15 countries of container port traffic loads, and 
the table at the bottom shows all country data, but unfortunately you cannot sort them out like the capture screen like this one. You should go to link for what countries are below United Kingdom.
