2 Vietnamese representatives in the top 30 most efficient container ports in the world

VTV.vn - Cai Mep and Hai Phong are among the top 30 most efficient container ports in the world. Cai Mep holds steady at 7th place while Hai Phong jumped 40 places to enter the top 30.

The World Bank and S&P Global Market Intelligence have just announced the Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) for the period 2020 - 2024. Cai Mep port cluster is firmly in 7th place, while Hai Phong port has made an impressive breakthrough, entering the top 30.

Top 20 ports with the highest CPPI index in the world in 2024.

The report evaluates 403 container ports worldwide. With a massive dataset of more than 175,000 vessel calls and 247 million container movements, CPPI reflects the efficiency of cargo handling at ports. The higher the ranking, the more optimized the port is in terms of vessel service time and cargo movement.

Cai Mep port cluster continues to affirm its leading position by maintaining its 7th position globally.

This year’s results paint a positive picture for Vietnam’s logistics industry. Cai Mep Port Complex continues to assert its leading position by maintaining its 7th position globally, surpassing many large and famous ports such as Hong Kong (12), Tanjung Pelepas (13) and Yokohama (16). Cai Mep is only behind some leading ports in China, Egypt and Morocco.

Hai Phong Port is in the top 30 of the ranking.

The spectacular breakthrough belongs to Hai Phong seaport, when it increased 40 places compared to last year to enter the top 30. This is also one of the 20 ports with the strongest improvement in CPPI index in the world in the period 2020-2024. This achievement is a clear demonstration of the efforts to upgrade the exploitation capacity and service quality of Hai Phong seaport in recent years.

In addition, many other Vietnamese ports are also present in the ranking, showing the even development of the national seaport system, including: Saigon (116), Cat Lai (122), Da Nang (128), Quy Nhon (150) and Chu Lai (157).

The report also points out that the global CPPI in 2024 is likely to decline due to geopolitical factors and climate change. The Red Sea crisis has forced ships to detour around the Cape of Good Hope, while water shortages in the Panama Canal have reduced cargo flows, leading to longer transit times and congestion at major ports.

According to experts, a port’s performance is not entirely dependent on its size. The report highlights that ports that promote digitalization, 24/7 operations, and enhanced logistics connectivity often show significant improvements in CPPI. Smaller ports with optimized warehouse management and equipment utilization can still achieve outstanding performance. This shows the importance of technology, management, and close coordination in optimizing global supply chains.
