Another measure is the World Bank’s Liner Shipping Connectivity Index (LSCI), which aims at

capturing a country's level of integration into the existing liner-shipping network. As can be seen

in Table 4, the 2018 LSCI scores show that Malaysia (98.08), UAE (73.65), Morocco (67.03), and

Egypt (54.62) are well connected to the global shipping network whereas Maldives (3.74),

Comoros (5.26), and Tunisia (6.56) are least connected.

One implication of Table 4 is that the best performing countries have large transshipment ports

(e.g. Malaysia, Morocco, and Egypt) and gateway ports (e.g. Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey).

Secondly, the least performing countries are either not located on the main liner shipping

services or lack the physical and operational capacity to serve large container ships (COMCEC,

2015).
