Casablanca – Tanger Med, Africa’s and the Mediterranean’s largest port, has once again ranked among the world’s most efficient ports, with the Moroccan port placing sixth out of 370 ports in the second phase of the global container port performance ranking for 2021.
In a study assessing the efficiency of the world’s largest ports, the Tangier Med port’s infrastructure outperformed all African and European ports.
Conducted by the World Bank and Standard & Poor’s Global Market Intelligence, the Container Ports Performance Index (CPPI) notably shows that ports in the Middle East and East Asia have efficiently adapted to the substantial volume rise and service unpredictability induced by the effects of the global pandemic.
CPPI is a comparative index of worldwide container port performance designed to serve as a reference point for major stakeholders in the global economy.
The King Abdullah Port in Saudi Arabia, Salalah Port in Oman, Hamad Port in Qatar, Yangshan Port in Shanghai, and Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi are the highest ranked in this year’s CPI.
