Abstract
World Bank and S&P Global Market
Intelligence container port performance index and underlying
data are intended to identify gaps and opportunities for
improvement that would benefit all key stakeholders in
global trade, including governments, shipping lines, port
and terminal operators, shippers, logistics companies and
consumers. The ranking is based on time vessels needed to
spend in port to complete workloads over the course of 2021,
a year that saw unprecedented port congestion and disruption
to global supply chains. The Container Port Performance
Index is based on total port hours per ship call, defined as
the elapsed time between when a ship reaches a port to its
departure from the berth having completed its cargo
exchange. Greater or lesser workloads are accounted for by
examining the underlying data within ten different call size
ranges. Five distinct ship size groups are accounted for in
the methodology given the potential for greater fuel and
emissions savings on larger vessels.
