Beyond the CPPI

EED context · Puertos del Estado

CPPI and container traffic, side by side

no causality

The two scales are shown together to provide context, not to build a combined index or to suggest that TEU volume explains the CPPI.

Open PortStats profile

The figure needs context

Arrival patterns, weather, draught or tidal restrictions, fleet mix, call size, route disruptions, geopolitical crises and global congestion can all affect the result. The CPPI is an operational benchmark; on its own it does not attribute causes or responsibilities.
