Singapore remains world’s leading shipping centre for 12th consecutive year
(KPL/VNA) Singapore has been recognised as the world’s leading shipping centre for the 12th consecutive year, achieving a score of 99.50 out of 100, according to the 2025 Xinhua-Baltic International Shipping Centre Development Index (ISCDI) Report released on July 11.
This annual report, now in its 12th year, ranks the world’s leading shipping centres based on a comprehensive evaluation of port factors, professional business services, and the general environment.
Singapore’s enduring success is attributed to its strategic location, robust international outlook, and a well-established ecosystem of professional maritime services.
Ang Wee Keong, Chief Executive of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, pledged to continue building on this momentum by innovating and investing in digitalisation, green technologies, and workforce development to strengthen Singapore’s position as a trusted and future-ready international maritime centre.
