Abstract

Prompted by a phenomenal growth in trade over the last decade, China’s container ports have been increasing in both number and importance. Within the Asian market sector, container ports in the Chinese mainland now threaten to undermine the dominance of both Hong Kong and Singapore. This chapter describes the development of China’s container ports to this point in time and, by applying a classification system based on a hierarchy of ports, seeks to deduce likely scenarios for the sector’s future development.
