The “Xinhua Baltic Sea International Shipping Center Development Index Report” was released in Shanghai on the 10th. Shanghai jumped to second place for the first time in the international shipping center ranking, and Hong Kong and Zhoushan, Ningbo also ranked in the top ten. In the latest ranking of international shipping centers released in the report, Singapore continues to lead the world. Shanghai surpassed London to second place for the first time. The top 20 Chinese ports also include Hong Kong, Ningbo, Zhoushan, Guangzhou, Qingdao, Tianjin, and Shenzhen, which ranked fourth, sixth, eleventh, twelfth, seventeenth, and eighteenth respectively. Cao Zhanzhong, head of the Xinhua Index Research Institute, said that the global shipping industry continues to show strong resilience in a complex and changing international environment, and China's major shipping centers, ports and shipping industries have also shown strong development momentum, achieving a “sharp rise in quantity and quality.” During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, the Shanghai International Shipping Center was moving from basic construction to full completion. This jump in rankings is another breakthrough since Shanghai entered the top three in 2020. In 2025, Shanghai Port's container throughput surpassed 5.56 million TEUs, reaching a record high. It ranked first in the world for 16 consecutive years, and its international transit capacity was also significantly enhanced. At the same time, Shanghai is continuously improving the level of green port construction and high-end shipping logistics service capabilities, and the international shipping resource allocation function has been further enhanced. Zhang Jingyou, head of the Asian region of the Baltic Sea Exchange, said, “Shanghai not only has obvious advantages in terms of container throughput and ocean shipping scale, but also relies on a large and complete shipping industry system to gather players in the entire industry chain, including shipping companies, financial institutions, maritime insurance, legal services, and ship construction, and is at the forefront of the global shipping center.” The report was jointly prepared by the China Economic Information Service and the Baltic Sea Exchange. Since it was first published in 2014, it has become one of the important evaluation systems with extensive influence in the field of international shipping.
