How China Built the World's Biggest Automated Port 32km Offshore

Yangshan Phase IV is the world's largest fully automated container terminal — and it sits on reclaimed islands 32 kilometres offshore in Hangzhou Bay, connected to Shanghai by a bridge that had never been attempted at this scale. No drivers. No operators on the cranes. No workers on the dock. This is how China built it, why it had to be built there, and what it means for every container ship moving through the Pacific.
