Bottom Line:

Middle East and North Africa container ports are rising rapidly, emerging at the top of global indices in terms of volume growth and efficiency. Competition and investment are accelerating, raising questions about possible over-capacity. Still, the region’s growing role as an emerging markets and global transshipment hub will accelerate, supporting economic growth and attracting investment as traditional powerhouses feel the pinch of competition.
