Port of Shanghai (CNSGH): services, sailings and scheduled calls

Local time at Shanghai

Cut-offs, gate hours and the carrier's office all run on the port's clock, so check it before you promise a delivery date.

Container terminals at Shanghai

The terminals a container ship can be worked at here, so you know which gate a trucker goes to and which terminal code to quote on a booking. Which one your ship uses is set by the carrier on the booking, not by the port.

The carriers on the Airlift routes publish the port on their schedules, not the terminal, so no terminal above is marked as called. Ask us and we will confirm the terminal on your booking.
