Hamad Port Ranks First in the Gulf and 11th Globally on Container Port Performance Index 2024

Hamad Port has been ranked first in the Gulf region for the first time and 11th worldwide in the CPPI or Container Port Performance Index 2024.

The CPPI, issued by the World Bank in collaboration with S&P Global Market Intelligence, serves as global recognition of Hamad Port’s exceptional operational efficiency and high performance, reinforcing Qatar's standing as a key regional hub for trade and logistics.

It also highlights the port’s critical role in driving the nation’s economic growth, positioning it as a strategic link in global supply chains and a trusted transshipment hub in the region.

The index bases its assessments on a wide range of data, with a primary focus on the time vessels require to complete loading and unloading operations-an essential measure of operational efficiency and a key factor in evaluating the resilience and reliability of global trade.

Hamad Port's strong performance reflects the advanced infrastructure, modern technologies, and premium services it provides, said Mwani Qatar in its social media handle X.

The 2024 edition of the index evaluated 403 container ports worldwide. It reported an overall decline in global port performance between 2020 and 2024 due to the Red Sea crisis, challenges at the Panama Canal, and pandemic-related shocks.

The report highlighted the uneven efficiency gains across regions and income groups.
