Drewry releases list of world’s best-connected ports

Shipping analyst Drewry has released a new tool which measures how well-connected the world’s top ports are by giving them a connectivity index out of 100.

These rankings suggest that the best-connected port is the world’s biggest, Shanghai, with a connectivity score of 100. Shanghai is followed closely by Ningbo (with a score of 93) and Singapore (89).

The top 20 is dominated by Asian ports, particularly those in China, but also Busan (60), Port Klang (39), Kaohsiung (38) and Colombo (26).
