The repercussions from August 12’s deadly Tianjin blast continue to be felt across global supply chains.

Generally ranked among China’s (and by extension the world’s) top 10 ports, Tianjin handled US$45,681,904,539 worth of exports, accounting 6.10% of the country’s waterborne exports, in first-half 2015, and US$36,482,028,89 in imports, or 7.97% of China’s waterborne imports in that period.
