en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 27, the China Economic Information Service and the Waterborne Transport Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport jointly released the "World-Class Port Comprehensive Evaluation Report (2026)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report").
The "Report" was jointly compiled and released by the China Economic Information Service and the Waterborne Transport Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport. Based primarily on the "Guiding Opinions on Building World-Class Ports" issued by nine departments including the Ministry of Transport and the National Development and Reform Commission, it constructs a world-class port evaluation index system. Using a "quantitative + qualitative" approach, it conducts a comprehensive evaluation of 34 major global sample ports, aiming to provide decision-making references and directional guidance for China's construction of world-class ports, while also offering more comprehensive port information products and evaluation consulting services to competent authorities, port and shipping enterprises, financial institutions, and other relevant entities.
Since 2021, this report has been released to the public for six consecutive years. Its findings have garnered widespread attention within and outside the industry and received strong support from various sectors of society, becoming an important basis for assessing the development trends of China's port industry and benchmarking against leading domestic and international ports. Through the indicator guidance and benchmark demonstration provided by the report's release, it plays a significant directional role in China's construction of world-class ports and enhances China's discourse power and influence in the evaluation of global port development.
The "Report" shows that the average score of the comprehensive evaluation for the 34 global sample ports is 68.4 points, an increase of 1.1% compared to the previous year. The "Report" categorizes global ports into two tiers: "World-Leading" and "World-Advanced." In the latest evaluation, the Port of Singapore, Port of Shanghai, and Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan are positioned in the world-leading group. The Port of Shenzhen, Port of Busan, Port of Qingdao, Port of Rotterdam, Port of Guangzhou, Port of Hamburg, Port of Tianjin, and Port of Antwerp-Bruges are positioned in the world-advanced group.
Furthermore, the "Report" selects the Shanghai Port Luojing Automated Container Terminal, Yantai Port Specialized Breakbulk Terminal, Tianjin Port Beijiang Port Area Section C Intelligent Container Terminal, and Ningbo-Zhoushan Port Dapukou Automated Container Terminal as typical terminal cases of world-class ports, providing detailed introductions focusing on development highlights such as terminal operational efficiency, shipping route network layout, digital and intelligent transformation, green and low-carbon development, and core technological innovation. The "Report" also selects the Port of Antwerp-Bruges as a typical case of a world-class port, highlighting its advanced experiences and practices in the construction of multimodal transport systems, port-adjacent industrial clusters, and port-industry-city integration. The release of these typical cases serves as a benchmark and demonstration for global port development.
