Abstract: The development of marine transportation has aggravated the competition of the ports all over the world, and many ports are actively probing the methods to integrate the port sources in order to improve the software and hardware facilities and enhance the ability of cargo handling and the ability of loading and un-loading bulk cargo and containers. Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore have come out into front because of their unique advantages and they provide other ports with the direction of development. Through the analysis of the throughput , port types, traffic conditions and facilities conditions of the three ports, this paper hopes to propose the strategy of sustainable development for Shanghai Port and other same type port. This paper con-siders that the development of Shanghai Port should choose the type of cargo based on the port type and the conditions of economic hinterland. Meanwhile, Shanghai Port should enhance the cooperation with the trans-portation of railway and highway, promote the construction of facilities conditions and consummate the col-lection and distribution system. In terms of port facilities, Shanghai port should actively cooperate with peri-pheral port for complementary advantages and mutual benefit.
