Claims, one by one

The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-2b42e16c9659e440 quantitative

opened December 2017

Published field: snippet · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: The state portal reports the opening date directly: '12月10日，全球最大单体自动化智能码头和全球综合自动化程度最高的码头——洋山港四期码头正式开港' — on 10 December the Yangshan Phase IV terminal formally opened.
Caveat: State media. The same report gives the design throughput as 4 million TEU initially and 6.3 million long term, which is lower than the figure this entry carries in its impact line.

Sources carrying this claim

Claim 2 clm-d6402eb09d399e41 descriptive

seven berths

Published field: snippet · verbatim
Mapping: mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says: The opening report states '该码头共建设7个集装箱泊位' — the terminal was built with seven container berths. The 2014 approval names the same seven: '计划建设5个5万吨级和2个7万吨级集装箱泊位', five of 50,000 tonnes and two of 70,000.
Caveat: The 2014 approval puts the total berth length at 2,800 m, while this entry states a 2,350 m quay. The two figures are not reconciled here; the approval describes the approved design, the entry describes what opened.

Known limits of this passport

Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
