SHANGHAI: Shanghai Port, the world’s busiest container port, has seen a rapid recovery in operating volume since June.

Even during the days when the city was hit hard by the Covid-19 outbreak, transportation across the region was maintained thanks to the effective collaboration of ports and related organisations in the Yangtze River Delta region, showing the resilience of the area’s supply chain, said industry experts.
