Planned Port Capacity Will Be Sufficient in Most of the World. But A Few Regions Will Feel Squeeze Handling Future Trade Growth, Says OECD Report

The capacity improvements currently planned in seaports around the world will be “sufficient enough” to accommodate future trade growth to 2030.

That is, perhaps, not a stellar endorsement of current capacity planning from the International Transport Forum of the OECD, but a grade of B- or C+ is better than an F.

“Our projections show that only southern Asia needs to expand capacity beyond what planned or projected capacities are showing,” said the recently-released ITF report.
