Xinhua-Baltic International Shipping Centre Development Index was launched in 2014 as a collaboration between the Baltic Exchange  and Xinhua, the Chinese state news agency. The index, in its seventh edition, provides an annual independent ranking of the performance of the world’s largest cities that offer port and shipping business services.

It is a numeric grading system that evaluates three primary indicators (port infrastructure, shipping services and general environment) and 17 secondary indicators using a comprehensive evaluation model.

A simple, intuitive, objective, and impartial measure of the level of development and state of international shipping centres, the index is a valuable guide and reference for the development of international shipping centres.
