Ranked first among the world’s largest container ports with 42,000,000 TEUs, the Port of Shanghai comprises both a deep-sea port and a river port. The Port of Shanghai is managed by Shanghai International Port Co. A publicly listed company, 44.23 percent of Shanghai International Port Co.’s shares are owned by the Shanghai Municipal Government.

The Port of Shanghai consists of three major working zones:

Yangshan Deep Water Port: The deep-water port for container ships in Hangzhou Bay, it is located south of Shanghai. Connected to Shanghai's Pudong New Area by the Donghai Bridge, Yangshan Deep Water Port forms part of the Port of Shanghai.

Huangpu River: This 113-kilometer (70 mi.) long river, flowing through Shanghai, was first excavated and created by Lord Chunshen, one of the Four Lords of the Warring States, during the Third Century BC. It is the last significant tributary of the Yangtze River before China’s longest river empties into the East China Sea.

While the Huangpu is the largest river in central Shanghai, Suzhou Creek is its major tributary. On average, the Huangpu is 400 meters (1,312 feet) wide and 9 meters (30 feet) deep. It divides the city into two regions: Pudong ("East Bank") and Puxi ("West Bank").
