The team at Staten Island Yachts took a fascinating look at the world’s supply chain by ranking ports of call by how many twenty-foot cargo containers they ship every year. The answers illuminate the origins of goods from all over the world. They’ve ranked each port of call on the graph by how many containers they ship and color-coded each location by region. The region with the busiest ports of call is by far East Asia. This probably comes as no surprise since it’s home to shipping and manufacturing giant, China, which claims several of the world’s busiest ports of call. Southeast Asia, West Asia, and South Asia respectively all top the charts, so there’s no doubt that a majority of the world’s busiest ports are somewhere in Asia.
A notable exception in the top ten busiest ports of call is the Port of Los Angeles in the United States.
