Every year, Lloyd's List publishes a list of the world's Top 100 container ports. And to mark the release of this year's ranking, we're taking a deep dive in this week's episode to understand the key trends seen across the container sector last year, and work out what the rest of the year has in store. In a year defined by disruption, the world's leading container ports still managed to increase their throughput by 8% - a sharp turnaround from some of the sluggish growth we've become accustomed to in recent years. The geopolitical upheaval shipping has had to deal with in the last 18 months has clearly created some winners, as well as some losers that continue to suffer at the hands of Red Sea rerouting and tariff wars. To download the Lloyd's List Top 100 Ports report, visit www.lloydslist.com/one-hundred-container-ports-2025, where you can see the full list of rankings as well access the data behind it, including regional and country-level analysis. Joining Joshua on this week's podcast are: Linton Nightingale, deputy editor, Lloyd's List Eleanor Hadland, senior ports and terminals analyst, Drewry

There's a call to completely reset our supply chains. The Cargo Owners Council says there's been a 30% drop in productivity since 2019. Chair Brent Flavey says New Zealand is in the bottom 20% for port efficiency, and we aren't keeping up with the rest of the world. NZ Customs Brokers and Freight Forwarders Federation CEO Sherelle Kennelly told Kerre Woodham without some hard conversations, we aren't going to get to a point where we can support our export goals going forward. She says if we don't improve our efficiencies, New Zealand won't be able to meet the global market. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We all know that New Zealand is a trading nation. We need to sell stuff to make the money we need to build hospitals, pay our teachers and police officers, pay for benefits and Super, pay for roads and cycleways, and the like. To maintain our standard of living we have to earn our keep, and that's what our exporters do. We need good exporters, and we need to be able to get our stuff to market. However, port inefficiencies around the country could undermine New Zealand's goals to double its export earnings. I think there have been polite snorts of derision when that bold claim has been stated, especially given what's been happening in recent times. The Cargo Owners Council says there's been a 30% drop in productivity since 2019. Chair Brent Falvey says there needs to be a comprehensive reset of our ports and a strategy for the whole supply chain. The International Container Alliance Committee (ICLC), representing international container shipping lines in New Zealand, has got in on the act too, calling for a lifting of productivity across all ports in the country. They say, “we note that overall the ship rate is reduced from 68 moves per hour in the first quarter of 2019 to 55 moves per hour during a similar period in 2025, across the four largest ports.” That's close to a 20% reduction in productivity and is very concerning, says the ICLC. Brent Falvey told Mike Hosking this morning that we just aren't keeping up with the rest of the world. “As you probably know, there's more than 400 ports around the world and New Zealand, from a productivity point of view, is in the bottom 20%. The majority of our ports are congested and poor productivity. Since 2019, productivity declined by up to 30%, and costs have gone up, and things are a mess. “What we think we need to do is actually have a reset. We're talking to the government, we're saying we need to have a hub and spoke model around the ports, the hub is actually big, deep-sea ports that are really efficient, and the spoke with small ports moving cargo to those large ports and that would be done by coastal shipping, it would have to be hand in hand with rail and road. I mean you've probably noticed that there's been some good work done at rail. They've had a bit of a reset, but to go to the next level for rail, they need volume that will drive efficiencies and cost.” We have, according to the industry, a five year window to get the supply chain back on track or we risk being serviced out of Australia. The shipping companies just won't bother coming here. It's not worth their while and that would add costs to exports and increased time to market. Some shipping lines say it's already too late, with shipping companies scaling back direct New Zealand services and hubbing out of Australia. Port companies say health and safety changes, as well as ships not arriving when they're supposed to, as contributing to the productivity question. But you can't really blame unions taking a long, hard look at health and safety processes, given the number of deaths on ports around the country. Sure, increase our productivity, but not at any cost, not at the cost of lives, because you haven't got things right. People don't have to die to make the ports more efficient. In the Blue Highway series that Business Desk produced, the shipping lines and the New Zealand Cargo Owners Council supported a move to that hub and feeder network that Brent Falvey talked about. A small number of ports would serve as the main ports of call for larger international vessels, and the remaining regional ports would play a feeder role. And again, that use of coastal shipping would transport cargo to and from the international hub ports. Now there may need to be regulatory changes to allow foreign operators to play a greater role in the coastal network, there may not be enough domestic flagships to do that, but that's tinkering around the edges. Right now, we have a very small window of time to improve our productivity in our ports so that our exporters can have a chance of competing on the international global markets. It is absolutely vital that our ports are productive and safe and efficient because the international shipping companies simply do not care. We make up 1% of their business, cutting us off would mean very little to them. It would mean quite literally the world for us. When it comes to making these big, deep-sea ports, this is where you need to fast track it. Can you imagine if five years from now we'd still be going through the consent process? There's been much talk in recent years about how to improve our ports because the decision makers know just how important it is to get our goods to market. We've talked about trying to increase the ports in Auckland, and that is indeed what they're going to do, expanding some of the wharves there. The automation was tried that didn't work for very obvious reasons. There's been talk of moving the port north, I think that's dead in the water despite Martua's best intentions. Port of Tauranga has been trying to grow its space. It is monolithic already. When you go to The Mount, it is dominated by the wharf. But size doesn't matter in this case. We need productivity. We need efficiency. We need to get these ships in and get them out far more quickly than we're doing now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Interlinks I'm joined by Howard Knott, Project Director at the Irish Exporters Association and columnist at Fleet Transport magazine—one of Ireland's most experienced commentators on freight, logistics, and trade. We unpack how recent shocks and policy shifts are reshaping Ireland–UK–EU connectivity and what that really means for shippers, carriers, and supply-chain leaders.In this episode we talk about the following:LHolyhead port's full reopening: timetable changes, capacity effects, and competitive responses (e.g., direct Ireland–EU services and CLdN's Liverpool frequencies)Landbridge vs. direct-to-continent: post-Brexit frictions, emerging UK–EU facilitation, and decision criteria for exportersStructural shift from Ro-Ro (driver-accompanied) to Lo-Lo (containerised): reliability, tracking tech, cost-to-serve, and reduced driver dependenceHGV driver shortages and how unaccompanied/container flows plus cross-border partnerships are bridging capability gapsRail freight in Ireland: new rolling stock, Waterford's intermodal traction, Limerick–Foynes reopening, current bottlenecks (drivers, terminals, Dublin rail access), and what it would take to lift modal sharePort strategy and resilience: Fishguard redevelopment, Rosslare/Waterford/Cork/Foynes roles, shore-power and alternative fuels readinessPractical new routings: Brittany Ferries + Cherbourg–Spain rail link as a viable Spain solution during peak ferry constraintsThis episode translates big shifts—Brexit recalibration, infrastructure disruptions, sustainability targets—into concrete choices: diversify routings and modes, lean into Lo-Lo with modern visibility, build continental partnerships, prepare for rail where feasible, and press for policy that prices carbon and supports rail economics. In short, it's a playbook for turning volatility into optionality—so Irish and international manufacturers can protect service levels, lower end-to-end cost and risk, and hit ESG goals without sacrificing competitiveness.Patrick Daly★ The Macro-to-Micro Strategist™╽ Turning Global Turbulence into Operational Clarity ╽ Helping Business Leaders Build Resilient, Profitable Supply Chains ╽ Multilingual Trusted Advisor ╽ Call/WhatsApp ☎️ +353868116030 ╽ Hosted on Acast.

Le port de Ziguinchor, au Sénégal, est toujours à la peine après avoir vécu un arrêt complet durant plusieurs mois en raison des troubles politiques de 2023. L'infrastructure est un point clé pour l'exportation des produits agricoles comme l'anacarde. Trois navires ont repris leurs rotations côté embarcadère, mais le port commercial, lui, est toujours à l'arrêt. Les ferrys Aline-Sitoé-Diatta et Aguene ont repris du service sur la ligne Dakar-Ziguinchor. Le transport de passagers bat son plein. Quelques fruits et légumes locaux sont aussi transportés, mais les conteneurs sont limités. Les gros navires de fret sont toujours bloqués, et cela fait maintenant plus de deux ans. Moctar Dabo, président des dockers du port de Ziguinchor au Sénégal, s'impatiente : « Jusqu'à nos jours, ça ne marche pas. Il n'y a pas de bateaux au port commercial là-bas. Ce sont spécialement les gros produits, par exemple l'anacarde ou même les autres. Pour le ciment, le fer, le port ne marche pas. Et puis nous, en tant que dockers, on ne compte que sur ces produits. Malheureusement ces produits ne viennent pas ici. » Le cargo Djilor, qui appartient au Cosama, le consortium sénégalais d'activité maritime, transportait des milliers de tonnes d'anacardes, production centrale dans l'économie de la région. Les exportations se font aujourd'hui par la route. Galaye M'baye est opérateur économique à Ziguinchor, exportateur de noix de cajou. « Il faut que le port soit compétitif, parce que comparé aux camions, ces derniers sont beaucoup moins chers que le port. La seule solution, c'est de trouver d'autres navires », estime l'opérateur. « Par exemple, si on avait quatre à cinq navires qui ont la capacité de prendre 200 à 250 conteneurs par voyage, ça nous arrangerait un peu plus. Cela nous permettrait d'évacuer nos conteneurs le plus rapidement possible », explique-t-il. Car aujourd'hui, détaille-t-il encore, il ne peut pas signer un contrat en juin et exporter en août.

Il s'agit principalement de navires de pêche. De quoi permettre au port de revivre, selon certains. Le président de la Chambre de commerce de Ziguinchor, Jean Pascal Ehemba, espère de nouveaux investissements. « Il faut que nous trouvions des navires pour le transport de ces produits-là, et nous voulions quand même essayer de demander à l'État de nous aider pour retenir les jeunes chez nous. On a quand même une terre assez riche et prometteuse en Casamance, mais une fois qu'on a fini de travailler ces terres, il faut évidemment vendre. Il faut des moyens de transport », plaide-t-il. Le pourrissement des fruits est un problème récurrent en Casamance. La transformation agricole et le stockage de la production font partie des grands chantiers annoncés du gouvernement d'Ousmane Sonko, ancien maire de Ziguinchor.

Le transport fluvial reste limité à moins de 1 % des usages de transport de passagers à Lagos, alors que la capitale économique nigériane est asphyxiée par les embouteillages terrestres et qu'elle est à plus de 20 % constituée d'eau. Limité jusqu'à présent dans ses dessertes, pas assez sûr, le transport par bateau pourrait cependant changer d'échelle à Lagos grâce à un projet de modernisation de 410 millions d'euros. La convention de financement est signée. D'ici cinq ans, 25 jetées devraient être aménagées dans la lagune de Lagos, équipées d'embarcadères modernes. À terme, explique Xavier Muron, directeur de l'antenne nigériane de l'Agence française de développement, co-financeur du projet, il s'agit de raccorder le réseau fluvial aux autres modes de transport collectif jusqu'au dernier kilomètre, pour dissuader les usagers de prendre la voiture. « L'idée, c'est d'amener un transport fluvial plus conséquent dans une ville qui est recouverte à 22 % d'eau, c'est quelque part de rapprocher les voies d'eau des voies des bus pour permettre aux gens de pouvoir passer d'un point A à un point B sans avoir à marcher », détaille-t-il. 80 ferries électriques Pour des raisons écologiques, le choix s'est porté sur les bateaux électriques, ce qui augmentera l'investissement de départ, soutenu par une subvention européenne. Mais cela diminuera les coûts de fonctionnement, à savoir les achats de carburant. Chacune des 80 embarcations pourra transporter quelque 400 passagers, précise Xavier Muron : « Ce sont de véritables petits ferries avec toutes les commodités, les toilettes, la possibilité de climatisation, un éclairage évidemment de nuit, pour que les gens se sentent rassurés lorsqu'ils monteront sur ces bateaux ». « D'Ikoyi à Apapa, ça ne prend que 20 minutes ! » La sécurité fluviale, qui laissait à désirer pendant la saison des pluies, s'est déjà améliorée. L'autorité de régulation, Lagos State Waterways Authority, sera encore renforcée à travers ce projet. Selon l'économiste nigérian Adamu Garba, il s'agit maintenant pour les autorités de faire la promotion de ce mode de transport. « Traverser Lagos, c'est plus rapide, moins cher et plus simple sur l'eau que par voie terrestre. D'Ikoyi à Apapa, ça ne prend que 20 minutes ! Il faut donc faire campagne pour le transport fluvial, ce qui n'a pas encore été fait. Il faut le promouvoir pour que les gens changent d'avis et choisissent les voies navigables pour se déplacer », assure l'économiste. Avec 100 000 passagers dans un premier temps, ce nouveau projet vise à faire passer le transport fluvial de moins de 1 % à plus de 10 % des usages de transport dans l'État de Lagos, avant une probable accélération de la fréquence des bateaux. Reste à organiser la passation des marchés, avant un début des travaux prévu fin 2025 ou début 2026.

En Centrafrique, l'axe fluvial Bangui-Brazzaville est jugé économiquement vital par de nombreux Centrafricains, notamment les commerçants. Pays enclavé au cœur de l'Afrique, la République centrafricaine n'a pas d'ouverture sur la mer. Elle dépend en grande partie des pays limitrophes. Aujourd'hui, la navigation sur l'Oubangui compense les réseaux routiers peu denses dont la plupart sont dégradés. Les ports de Bangui reçoivent chaque semaine des embarcations et le commerce bat son plein entre les deux pays. De notre correspondant à Bangui, Ici, au port de Ngou État, une dizaine de bateaux et baleinières sont amarrés. Commerçants et voyageurs occupent tout le quai et la berge. Le navire blanc et bleu - Bangui n'est pas loin - d'environ 40 mètres de long transporte près de 10 000 tonnes de marchandises et une cinquantaine de personnes à destination de Brazzaville. « Pour aller là-bas, tu peux acheter des bidons de miel, des cabris, les fûts d'huile de palme, des sacs de maïs ou encore d'arachides. Souvent, j'achète également des poissons que je mets dans des paniers. Par exemple, ici, tu peux acheter le bidon d'huile de palme à 9 000 FCFA, mais une fois là-bas, tu peux revendre à 30 000 FCFA », explique Fiston Ngbassoumbi, un commerçant centrafricain. 30 000 FCFA, l'équivalent de 45 euros, soit 100% de bénéfice. En bateau, le trajet coûte 25 000 FCFA par personne et varie entre 5 000 et 10 000 FCFA pour les baleinières. Les marchandises sont taxées en fonction des kilogrammes. Après avoir écoulé leurs articles au Congo, les mêmes commerçants importent les produits congolais en Centrafrique. « Pour le chemin du retour, tu vas acheter des boîtes de sardines et des balles de vêtements de friperie pour les garçons. Ici ça coûte cher. Mais là-bas, c'est moins cher », témoigne encore Fiston Ngbassoumbi. Chaussures pour femmes, ou encore appareils électriques sont moins chers à Brazzaville. « Si tu paies un appareil là-bas à 200 000 FCFA, quand tu arrives ici, tu peux le revendre à 500 000 FCFA. Ça dépend de la qualité des appareils », met-il en avant.

Le voyage a duré une semaine, compte tenu de l'état de navigabilité de la rivière et des embarcations. Maurice fait la navette entre le Congo-Brazzaville, le Congo-Kinshasa et la RCA depuis plus de dix ans. « Pour être libre de tout mouvement, il faut avoir une carte d'identité et remplir toutes les formalités. Moi, j'exporte du bois de chauffe, du manioc, des cabris, des moutons et des poulets. En retour, j'achète des produits pour revendre ici. Il s'agit d'huile raffinée, de savon, de cubes magie ou encore des cartons de sucre », détaille le commerçant. Mais la navigation sur la rivière Oubangui est loin d'être un long fleuve tranquille. En saison sèche, des tronçons sont difficilement praticables pour les gros chargements. Maurice évoque les principales difficultés qu'il rencontre. « Les difficultés n'en finissent jamais. Dans les baleinières, on côtoie des animaux et des marchandises au mépris des règles d'hygiène et de sécurité. Les embarcations font des surcharges sans gilets et bouées de sauvetage. C'est vraiment la souffrance », se plaint-il. Les travaux du corridor 13 reliant notamment le Congo-Brazzaville à la Centrafrique, financés par la Banque africaine de développement, se poursuivent. Le transport fluvial demeure pour l'instant le moyen de transport le plus usité entre ces deux pays. À lire aussiQuand la rivière Oubangui charrie le commerce informel [2/5]

Au Soudan du Sud, la ville de Bor est située au seuil de la plaine inondable du Nil, là où le fleuve se répand en centaines de canaux pour former les marais du Sudd, la plus vaste zone humide d'Afrique. Les inondations historiques qui ont frappé la région depuis 2020 ont eu des effets dévastateurs. Mais ce « trop d'eau » a permis le développement de la pêche et le commerce du poisson sud-soudanais. Un boom économique dont le port de Bor est devenu un véritable hub commercial et logistique. Avec notre envoyée spéciale à Bor, Au port de Bor, des dizaines de barges collées les unes aux autres sont amarrées au quai en terre. Dans l'eau jusqu'aux genoux, des hommes déchargent leur cargaison : du poisson séché en provenance des îles situées au cœur des marécages. William Nyadiar Kuch, de l'association des conducteurs de bateaux de Bor, constate que de nombreux éleveurs ruinés par les inondations se sont tournés vers cette activité. Ils naviguent sur le Nil pour acheter du poisson et le revendre ici. « Notre rôle est de faire en sorte que le trafic des bateaux soit bien organisé, et que ceux qui vont très loin partent assez tôt le matin afin d'atteindre leur destination avant la nuit. Vous voyez comme tout le monde ici est très occupé avec le poisson. Depuis les inondations, c'est devenu notre principale source de subsistance », explique William Nyadiar Kuch. Des nouveaux marchés  L'espace du port est en effet saturé de poisson séché disposé en énormes tas ou en piles de forme cubique. Abraham Agot Paruar, qui dirige le syndicat des bateaux du Jonglei, explique que depuis 2021, avec l'augmentation du volume de poisson pêché, la méthode de préservation traditionnelle a dû être améliorée. « Ce que nous faisons depuis des siècles, c'est préserver le poisson en le faisant sécher au soleil. Mais récemment, des entrepreneurs ont introduit une nouvelle méthode à base de sel », détaille le syndicaliste. Une méthode adoptée qui « permet à notre poisson de rester bon à la consommation jusqu'à trois mois », et peut ainsi être exporté vers l'Ouganda et le Congo. « Cela nous a ouvert de nouveaux marchés et de nouvelles opportunités : l'exportation du poisson, mais aussi l'importation et la vente de sel en énormes quantités ! », se réjouit-il. Les femmes, par centaines, s'impliquent dans le commerce de poisson sur le port de Bor. Certaines ont même réussi à se constituer un capital. C'est le cas de Rachel Achol Bol, 30 ans, enceinte de son sixième enfant, qui s'est lancée il y a trois ans. Elle s'apprête à exporter deux énormes lots de tilapia vers l'Ouganda et le Congo. « Nous voyageons par la route jusqu'à Juba, où nous passons une nuit, puis nous continuons jusqu'à l'Ouganda, et même jusqu'à la frontière congolaise. Ce travail, c'est tout ce que j'ai pour que mes enfants puissent aller à l'école », témoigne-t-elle. Elle couvre sa marchandise de bâches en plastique pour la protéger de la pluie. Selon les autorités, la construction d'un port moderne est pour bientôt à Bor, un projet soutenu par la Banque mondiale.

This episode continues our series on the Cinque Ports, an ancient confederation of towns in southeast England that provided ships and men to the crown in return for special powers and privileges. They have since become rightly dubbed as the cradle of the Royal Navy. This episode brings us to New Romney, one of the original five head ports. New Romney retains its deep maritime heritage and significance despite having lost its proximity to the sea when the Great Storm of 1287 dramatically altered the landscape and rerouted the River Rother.

The head of In n Out is moving her family to Tennessee and she's far from the only one packing up and leaving California in the rearview mirror. Why? Plus, Michael explores how LA County made a mistake by passing Measure G, which no one seemed to know would repeal Measure J. Now the county is scrambling to fix it and find out how it happened in the first place. LA and LA County have reported a decrease in the homeless population but that doesn't appear to be true for downtown LA where more legacy businesses have announced their closures due to the economic and cultural climate. And the Ports of LA and Long Beach see fluctuations in cargo volume as the President's tariff policy continues to shift.

The "debt trap" meme claims that China is intentionally lending vast sums of money to poor developing countries in Africa, and elsewhere, with the express intent to seize physical assets in those countries when they inevitably can't repay their debts. This fanciful narrative sounds compelling, but the problem is that there's literally no evidence from the past twenty years since China became the world's largest bilateral creditor to support the claim. It just isn't true. The reality of how China actually secures its loans to these countries is far more complicated. Anna Gelpern, a law professor at Georgetown University, and Brad Parks, executive director of AidData, a development finance research institute at the College of William & Mary, were part of a team of experts that did an extensive forensic analysis of 620 Chinese loans spanning more than 20 years that revealed the financial methods Beijing employs to guarantee these debts. Anna and Brad join Eric to discuss the findings from their new report, "How China Collateralizes."
