Figure 16 provides distribution of the container port traffic among the OIC regions in 2014. As
the figure shows, the OIC-MENA region outperforms other regions in terms of container port
traffic. In the OIC-MENA region UAE, Egypt, and Turkey were the top performers regarding
container throughput. For the OIC-Asia region most of the traffic were handled by a few
countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia. It should also be underlined that the scope of the
container port traffic is very limited in the OIC-Sub-Saharan Africa.
