MDST Port LSCI
MDS Transmodal developed the Port Liner Shipping Connectivity Index (MDST Port LSCI), a cloud-based information portal which allows any registered user to view the top 100 ports in the current quarter and the same quarter last year.
Premium subscribers can:
- Access the 6 components of connectivity used to calculate the LSCI that is published for each port by UNCTAD
- Split the components of connectivity for each port between deepsea and shortsea
Why MDST?
Unusually among firms of transport economists, MDS Transmodal has invested in developing and maintaining a comprehensive set of databases covering the demand for ports, shipping and other freight transport services as well as the supply of maritime and warehouse infrastructure. Using these information sets, your specific areas of interest can be examined through analysis of the relevant markets and the competitive behaviour of the service providers.
