What If the Next Shipping Shock Starts Inside a Port?

CPPI 2025 shows where ships lose time — and capacity disappears.

The World Bank and S&P Global’s new Container Port Performance Index 2025 is out.

Because when ships spend more time inside ports, the whole network quietly loses usable capacity.

Here are the 🔟 signals that matter most.

1️⃣ 2025 was slower than 2024: ships spent more time inside ports before sailing again.

2️⃣ CPPI is based on real vessel time in port, not port surveys or self-reported productivity.
