The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development releases a quarterly Port Liner Shipping Connectivity Index (PLSCI), giving ports an index-based liner connectivity score. Figure 1 shows a tiered list of ports that are in the top-100 most-connected ports, and Figure 2 shows a tiered list of ports that are in the bottom-100 for each quarter across 2006-2024. The top-10 most-connected ports in 2024-Q4 have seen their average connectivity increase consistently across the analysed period, which accelerated since 2020, increasing the gap to the next 10 ports considerably. The remaining top segments have all seen increases, but they are relatively marginal compared to the top-10 most-connected ports. What this shows is that the most-connected ports are getting increasingly more connected on average. (....)
