[AMNA]
The greater Athens area, including the port of Piraeus, became the seventh most important shipping center globally in the Xinhua-Baltic International Shipping Center Development Index after climbing one place.
The index does not only look into a port’s traffic, but overall business activity and innovation: for example, Ningbo-Zhoushan in China is the busiest port in terms of cargo tonnage, but follows Athens.
The 10 most important shipping hubs, according to ISCDI, are: Singapore, London, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Dubai, Rotterdam, Athens/Piraeus, Ningbo-Zhoushan, Hamburg and New York/New Jersey.
