List of busiest ports by cargo tonnage

(Redirected from List of world's busiest ports by cargo tonnage)
For other uses, see Lists of the world's busiest ports.

This is a list of the busiest seaports by cargo tonnage, the total mass, or in some cases volume, of actual cargo transported through the port. The rankings are based on AAPA world port ranking data.

The cargo rankings based on tonnage should be interpreted with caution since these measures are not directly comparable and cannot be converted to a single, standardized unit. In the Measure column, MT = Metric Tons, HT = Harbor Tons, FT = Freight Tons, and RT = Revenue Tons.
