Athens ranks seventh among the world's most important shipping hubs

The greater Athens area, including the port of Piraeus, has become the seventh most important shipping hub globally in the Xinhua-Baltica (ISCDI) International Shipping Hub Development Index, after climbing one place.

The index looks not only at a port's traffic, but also overall business activity and innovation: for example, Ningbo Zhoushan in China is the busiest port in terms of cargo tonnage. It is followed by Athens.

The ten most important transport hubs according to ISCDI are: Singapore, London, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Dubai, Rotterdam, Athens/Piraeus, Ningbo-Jowshan, Hamburg and New York/New Jersey. | BGNES
