The 2025 edition, prepared by the World Bank and S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, makes uncomfortable reading for Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa averages a score of about \u201372, against roughly +19 for the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Ships spend more time at anchor and at berth on the continent than almost anywhere else in the index.<\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The numbers are not destiny. Some African ports rank among the best in the world; others have moved sharply up the table. The question for African governments, port authorities, and investors is why some ports slip\u2014and what the others did to climb.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>The Best in the World, and the Best in Africa<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">At the top of the 2025 index, Chinese and Gulf ports dominate. Fuzhou, Dalian, Salalah, Mawan, and Chiwan lead the world, all with consistently short vessel turnaround times.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Tanger Med in Morocco is the only African port in the global top ten, ranking sixth with a score of 134.0 and 85 percent of time spent at berth. Across the continent, the leaders are clear. Port Said in Egypt follows closely in fifteenth place worldwide, with a score of 117.0 and 85 percent at berth. Djibouti ranks third in Africa and 53rd globally, with a score of 62.6 and 70 percent at berth. Damietta and El Sokhna, both in Egypt, complete the African top five, with scores of 22.8 and 17.1 respectively, and berth shares of 79 percent and 82 percent.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Tanger Med and Port Said demonstrate that African gateways can compete with the world\u2019s best when capacity, berth planning, and operations align. The rest of the continent has a longer road to travel.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>Why Our Ports Slip<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The report identifies several structural causes, familiar to anyone who has worked on the continent\u2019s gateways.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The first is trade structure. Many African ports are import-dominated, so containers arrive in bursts and stay in yards for uncertain periods. Export-oriented ports can preposition boxes in the order a ship needs them. Import-heavy ports cannot, so yard planning becomes guesswork.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The second is under-investment. Too few berths and cranes, shallow channels that restrict ship size, and yards running near full capacity leave little operational slack. When volume surges or a schedule shifts, the queue forms immediately. Ports in lower-income economies generally have less buffer to absorb shocks.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The third is landside weakness. A port is only as fast as the road, rail, and clearance system behind it. When trucks, warehouses, and customs cannot keep pace, containers pile up and vessels wait for berths.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The fourth is simultaneous shocks. Geopolitical rerouting\u2014from the Red Sea crisis to the 2026 disruption in the Strait of Hormuz\u2014pushes ships off schedule and then delivers them in clusters. The report calls these \u201cburst congestion\u201d events. Ports with little operational slack absorb them badly, and relief ports that take diverted ships can be overwhelmed.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Finally, there is local fragility. Conakry\u2019s share of time spent at berth fell from around 73 percent in 2024 to just over 37 percent in 2025, meaning vessels spent most of their port time waiting rather than working. Cape Town has suffered weather disruption and equipment reliability problems that have turned ship times into a high-variance gamble.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>How to Climb<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The report\u2019s best performers point to a practical agenda.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Start with private operators and clear concessions. Dar es Salaam\u2019s entry of private terminal operators cut waiting at anchor from several weeks to a few days. Durban\u2019s recovery followed new investment and a 25-year concession to modernise Pier 2. Private capital does not replace public responsibility, but it can bring equipment, discipline, and speed that public budgets struggle to fund.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Next, plan berthing, not just cargo. Fixed berthing windows, predictive berthing, and dynamic yard allocation reduce the idle time the index punishes. Djibouti\u2019s berth share rose from around 60 percent to over 70 percent, showing what operational coordination can achieve even under heavy regional stress.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Then digitise the whole chain. Integrated terminal operating systems and port community systems allow shipping lines, terminals, truckers, and customs to share real-time information. The report\u2019s central insight is that ports sharing reliable data on arrivals, berth status, and landside flows reduce the amplification of shocks. A truck booking, a customs clearance, and a berth allocation should communicate with one another before the ship arrives.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Invest in landside capacity alongside the quay. A port that doubles its cranes but cannot clear its yard has not solved its problem. Dwell-time rules, rail and road links, and one-stop clearance need the same attention as berth construction.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Finally, measure the right things. The berth-share metric is especially useful for revealing whether a delay sits at anchor, in the approach, or alongside the berth. Port authorities that track their own percentiles and recovery speeds can distinguish a persistent problem from a short overload.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>The Bottom Line<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The CPPI does not condemn Africa\u2019s ports. It shows that they are slow for reasons that can be named and, in many cases, changed. Shallow berths, import-heavy flows, and weak landside links are structural and take years to fix. Idle time, poor berth coordination, and missing data are operational and can be fixed sooner. The ports that have climbed the index did not wait for perfect conditions. They brought in private discipline, planned their berths, shared their data, and measured what mattered.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Africa\u2019s gateways will not win on geography alone. They will win on how well they run the hours a ship spends in port.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><em>Harry Arigi is a Maritime Consultant and MIHR.
