The 2015 edition was launched at the Nor-Shipping 2015 opening conference. The report received great attention and is used as the key reference for benchmarking maritime cities and regions globally. The 2017 edition will be launched at Sea Asia in Singapore in April 2017 and presented at several other large maritime conferences, including Nor-Shipping in Oslo, throughout the year. The 2017 edition will include more cities while also being more comprehensive – both in terms of topics and indicators. For more information, please see the project description for The Leading Maritime Capitals of the World 2017, and The Leading Maritime Capitals of the World 2015 report.
