The IAPH World Ports Tracker survey - Q2 2023 |
Introduction
The present survey tracks critical aspects of the evolution in the global port industry. It is also a key survey on understanding the challenges that ports are facing, either regionally and globally. The findings will provide input for establishing the IAPH World Ports Tracker.
The results will be analysed and displayed in an aggregated manner per region, and for the world as a whole. All information obtained will be treated in a confidential manner and only aggregated data will be published. No reference will be made to individual ports.
As a contributor to the survey, you will receive an exclusive in-depth analysis of the results of this quarter. The summary findings will be published in the IAPH membership magazine Ports & Harbors.
The survey consist of eleven questions, that will be sent four times a year. Next to three general profile questions, four questions refer to trends in container and other cargo markets, three refer to trends in passenger/cruise ports and one addresses port worker availability.
The survey-based results will be complemented with container statistics based on S&P Global data. These statistics will be reported every two months and will focus on the following metrics:
- Vessel calls per region (index-based reporting with Q1 2019 = 100)
- Evolution of call size per region (reporting quartile development, index-based with Q1 2019 = 100).
- Evolution of vessel size per region (reporting share of 8,000/14,000 TEU + vessels in total container vessel calls, compared with Q1 2019)
- Port moves per hour (reporting quartile development, index-based with Q1 2019 = 100)
The results will be analysed and displayed in an aggregated manner per region, and for the world as a whole. All information obtained will be treated in a confidential manner and only aggregated data will be published. No reference will be made to individual ports.
