The Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) measures port efficiency globally, crucial amid recent supply chain disruptions.
China’s ports continued to dominate global efficiency rankings in 2025, with seven Chinese trade hubs placing in the top 10, according to a study by the World Bank and S&P Global released on Wednesday. The latest edition of the annual report comes at a time when ports are playing a more vital role in the global economy than ever, as facilities strive to handle intense disruptions to global supply chains amid the aftermath of the Red Sea crisis and the ongoing fallout from the US-Israel war on Iran. Launched in 2020, the Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) compares the efficiency of more than 400 ports around the world by measuring how long vessels spend in each trade hub on average, as a longer processing time indicates a higher chance of delays and supply bottlenecks. China’s ports once again led the way in terms of efficiency last year, with Fuzhou in the southeastern Fujian province claiming top spot, followed by Dalian in northeastern China in second place and Oman’s Salalah port in third. Hong Kong placed ninth.
