Container Port Performance Index (CPPI)

• Developed by the World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence, the global Container Port Performance Index is a comparable index of global container port performance intended to serve as a reference point for key stakeholders in the global economy, including national governments, port authorities, development agencies, supra-national organizations and private operators of trade, logistics and supply chain services.

Aim: 

• Its primary aim is to identify areas for enhancement for the benefit of multiple stakeholders in the global trading system and supply chains, from ports to shipping lines, national governments, and consumers.

Key Observations:

• There are 57 new ports in the CPPI 2023, including Muuga Harbour in Estonia and Port of Al Duqm in Oman, as well as several notable movers. 
• One of the major Indian ports, Visakhapatnam Port, made it into the top 20. 
• Despite its relatively low ranking, Dar es Salaam Port in Tanzania managed to shave ship arrival times by 57%.
• The top-performing ports, China’s Yangshan Port earned the top spot for the second consecutive year, while Oman’s Port of Salalah retained the number two position. 
• The port of Cartagena in Colombia ascended to 3rd place. Tanger-Mediterranean of Morocco held steady in 4th, and Tanjung Pelepas Port in Malaysia rounded out the top 5.
• The CPPI ranks 405 global container ports by efficiency, focusing on the duration of port stay for container vessels.
