According to the World Bank's 2025 Container Port Performance Index (CPPI), the port of San Pedro in Côte d'Ivoire has been ranked as the 9th most efficient container port in Africa. The index, which evaluates ports based on vessel turnaround time, berth productivity, and other operational metrics, highlights San Pedro's significant improvements in handling container traffic.
The ranking places San Pedro ahead of several larger African ports, reflecting investments in infrastructure and digitalization. The port serves as a key gateway for exports from Côte d'Ivoire's western region, including cocoa, coffee, and rubber.
This recognition underscores the port's role in regional trade and economic development, though specific data on container throughput or year-over-year changes were not immediately available from the World Bank report.
