PhilaPort has once again been named the most productive container port in the United States, according to the 2025 Container Port Productivity Index (CPPI), published by the World Bank and Standard & Poor's (S&P).
Widely recognized as the premier global benchmark for container port efficiency, the CPPI evaluates ports based on operational performance metrics that measure how effectively cargo moves through terminals.
In 2025, container cargo activity through PhilaPort supported more than 8,000 direct, indirect, and induced jobs, generated more than $905 million in labor income, and contributed nearly $1.2 billion in economic output throughout Pennsylvania.
The ranking marks the third consecutive year that PhilaPort has earned the top position among U.S. ports.
PhilaPort was the only U.S. port ranked among the CPPI's Global Top 50, ranking 48th worldwide and second overall in North America. The port was also the only U.S. port to place among the Top 20 for performance improvement between 2020 and 2025.
