China's multi-billion-dollar automated port: worth it? | EXPLAINER

The world’s largest trading nation in goods for 7 years, China, also boasts the most inland water freight. It wouldn’t be possible without this.

That steel box generating the noise - the container is so big.

Each is 20 or 40 feet long.

When you click “buy”, your purchase will probably ship in one of these.

Things go from where they are made to where they’re needed - and a lot of that distance is covered inside these giant boxes.

Welcome to Shanghai - the world’s busiest container port for 14 straight years.
