Interesting quiz. Taicang is not counted as a prefecture-level city in China, so you should probably accept Suzhou as a type-in

Taicang is the location of the port. Code is CNTAC. The city level doesn't really matter.

Tough quiz. Hard to believe that there's not a port in Nigeria or somewhere in that vicinity that's at least as big as Kingston, Jamaica.

Fair point. Kingston barely made the list and I reckon it is mostly a transshipment port

Just checked and Kingston climbed to 91 in 2022 and Lome, Togo is part of the list now

Athens should work for Piraeus, Lima should work for Callao. These ports are within the metro areas.
