Key Events
YICT turned 20
and achieved
a remarkable
world record
YICT marked its 20th anniversary on 15 November
2013. About 160 guests from various departments of the
Shenzhen Municipality, port authorities, shipping lines
and cargo companies gathered for a special celebration.
From its humble beginnings in 1993 as a small deep-
water port handling just 13,000 TEU annually, YICT has
today evolved into one of the world’s busiest container
terminals, handling in excess of 10 million TEU each year.
In January 2013, YICT handled its 100 millionth TEU,
establishing a world record as the frst container terminal
ever to achieve such a feat in a mere 18.5 years.
