Hamad Port Ranks 3rd Worldwide as Most Efficient Gateway on “Container Port Performance Index”

Hamad Port has ranked the third most efficient gateway in the world according to the Global Container Ports Performance Index report for the year 2021, issued by the World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence.

The Container Ports Performance Index compares 370 container ports around the world and evaluates them according to specific bases and criteria. The port’s ranking depends on the time that ships needed to stay in the port to complete loading and unloading work throughout the year 2021, a year that witnessed unprecedented traffic at various ports and a disrupted supply chain globally.

Noteworthy, Hamad Port in 2021 received some 1750 vessels, handled over 1.54 million TEUs, over 1.3 million tons of bulk cargo, and nearly 267.2 thousand tons of general cargo, in addition to receiving 45.5 thousand heads of livestock, and more than 72.2 thousand units of vehicles and equipment.
