Introduction
Maritime connectivity, i.e. the relative position of a country in liner shipping networks, matters for trade prospects and competitiveness (Fugazza and Hoffmann, 2017). UNCTAD maintains several statistical datasets that enable monitoring maritime connectivity trends, on a quarterly basis, since 2006. These include the country Liner Shipping Connectivity Index (LSCI), the Liner Shipping Bilateral Connectivity Index (LSBCI) and the port LSCI which are based on carriers’ liner (planned) schedules. In addition, the port calls dataset provides insights in terms of the number and characteristics of vessels calling at ports.
