-Singapore tops the ranking thanks to its outsized transshipment role across Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, the UAE places second, supported by Dubai’s Jebel Ali Port and the wider Jafza free zone.

-Jebel Ali’s installed capacity reaches 19.4 million TEUs, enabling deep-water, big-ship calls. In turn, the broader Jafza ecosystem has enabled trade for 40 years and today hosts 11,000+ companies, facilitating US$190B+ in commerce.
