Athens ranked seventh most important global shipping hub

·

Athens has risen to become the seventh most significant global shipping hub, according to the Xinhua-Baltic International Shipping Center Development Index (ISCDI). Ekathimerini.com has reported that this ranking includes the greater Athens area and the port of Piraeus, which moved up one spot from its previous position.

The ISCDI index evaluates not only port traffic but also overall business activity and innovation within the shipping industry. For instance, while Ningbo-Zhoushan in China is the world’s busiest port in terms of cargo tonnage, it ranks just below Athens in overall importance.

The top 10 global shipping hubs, as ranked by ISCDI, are: Singapore, London, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Dubai, Rotterdam, Athens/Piraeus, Ningbo-Zhoushan, Hamburg, and New York/New Jersey.
