Container Port Performance Index 2024

Container ports are not just a gateway to business but also stress points that show the health (or fragility) of global supply chains.

In Port Container Performance Index (CPPI) 2020-2024Manufactured by the World Bank and S&P Global, show how ports have responded to unprecedented five -year shock: epidemic, Red Sea crisis and climate restrictions on the Panama Canal ..

Data from 403 ports, 175,000 ship calls and 247 million container moves Narrates a clear story. Efficiency is not just about geography or size. This is about resistance, investment and adaptation.

Ways to prepare global

• 2020 Strong began, but COVID-19 disorders provided step for fluctuations
• 2021-2022 Showed the lowest level of performance, with the West Coast of North America in the midst of the worst blow
• 2023 Re -vision, especially in South Asia and East Asia
• 2024 Drowned again-not because of demand but because of geopolitical disruption (Red Sea deviation) and climate-related (Panama canal water shortages)

CPPI confirms that the process of performance of global shock and recovery ports mirrors mirror: congestion, transportation rates and ship delay all turn into a change in index

Ports that have done well

• Pozorja, Ecuador: +72.8 points from 2020, now the best Latin American presenter. Deep water design and DP’s global investment is below this increase.
• Gutenberg, Sweden: +71.2 points, by proving that European resistance is not limited to mega hub ..
• Port said, Egypt: Now in the third place in the world, with the support of the expansion of the Suez Channel Container Terminal and the digital port systems.
• Dakar, Senegal: From -82 (2023) to +23 (2024), the highest rank of African Port under the field, thanks to the upgrade of the crane, the customs digitalization and the new connection ..
• Jawaharlal Nehru, India: Significant progress with the new PSA capacity, cutting ship cut ..

Pressure ports

• Cape Town, South AfricaA: In recent years it has fallen sharply, though in 2024 a short -term return showed. The waiting time remains at the Achilles heel anchor.
• COEGA/NGQURA, South Africa: A similar story of fluctuations, drawn by poor congestion and bonds in weak areas.
• Middle East and North Africa ports: Once the leaders in 2020 now return to the Red Sea crisis.
• North American West Coast portsA: The lowest CPPI scores worldwide in 2022, and were exposed to structural inefficiency.

Regional comparison

• China and East Asia
  China with the top 20 people, with Yangshan, Fuzhou, Dalian, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Chiwan, Tianjin, Xiamen and Yantian All of the top rankings .. Yangshan is directed worldwide with CPPI 146.3.
• Inside Asia and Southeast Asia
  Ports like CAI MEP (Vietnam) Vat Tanjung Pelepas (Malaysia) Stay strong regional players, and prove that average export hubs can compete with mega hubs.
• South Asia
  A bright recovery leader – Jawaharlal Nehru and Mundra (India) Significant recovery .. South Asia was the only area to achieve more than 2023 performance in 2023 before the disruption of the Red Sea.
• The Middle East
  Port of Saeed (Egypt), Hamad (Qatar) and Salalah (Oman) They are regional, but the Red Sea crisis has revealed the previous leadership.
• Europe
  Mixed performance .. Algeciras (Spain) Vat Gothenburg (Sweden) Shine, while the northern European averages are flat. Marseille and Lu Hawar (France)However, after years of descending, they have fallen back to the ground.
• North America
  Despite consolidation in the years 2023-224, North America is still affected. Philadelphia and Auckland It shows isolated advances, but systematic issues such as workforce, side bottlenecks continue.
• South America
  Posorja (Ecuador) Vat Buenacentura (Colombia) The winners are clear .. However, trusting river ports like Guayaquil still makes vulnerability.
• Africa
  Still structurally delayed, but bright spots appear: Dakar (Senegal) Is in jumping, while Durban and Cape Town (South Africa) Also suffer from congestion, poor rail bonds and climate -related delays.

What CPPI tells us

CPPI is more than one ranking, this is a diagnostic tool. Excellent executives share three traits:

1. Political Commitment Reforms
2. Participation with World Terminal Operators
3. Invest in digitalization and connection

On the contrary, low executives are often faced with structural bottlenecks such as delay in domestic areas, poor sovereignty or over -reliance on vulnerable commercial routes.

The last word

CPPI 2020-2024 should pause policy makers and industry leaders. This is that flexibility is achieved through forecasting, cooperation and investment.

For transportation and carriers, the message is simple: Choosing a port is more important than ever. For governments, CPPI is a awakening call. The stronger ports mean a stronger economy ..

In Source of transportation and transportationWe will continue to pursue these changes, pay attention to consistent ports, areas that are reformed, and systems that enable world trade to even flow in times of disorder.
