1️⃣The 2024 Champions🏆

  • Yangshan #1 (China) – the gold standard of scale + discipline.

  • Fuzhou #2 (China) – the quiet climber, now a global star.

  • Port Said #3 (Egypt) – MENA’s first Top 3 in CPPI history.

  • Dalian #4 (China) – reliability reborn.

  • Tanger-Med #5 (Morocco) – North Africa’s gateway to Europe.

👉 China owns 10 of the Top 20. But the rise of MENA hubs proves geography no longer decides winners—execution does.


2️⃣ The Comeback Ports⚡

2024 wasn’t just about leaders—it was about rebounds:

  • Cape Town (South Africa): +237.9 points — from crisis to climbing.

  • Mersin (TĂźrkiye): +226.7 points — earthquake shock in 2023, back strong.

  • Iskenderun (TĂźrkiye): +133.9 points — regional stability, operational reset.

👉 Lesson: ports can reinvent themselves in 12 months if investment + discipline align.
