Top 10 riskiest ports worldwide identified as data properly explored

Risk management firm RMS has analysed the catastrophe risk of the world’s ports and found the riskiest two ports are in Japan (Nagoya – US$2.3 billion) and China (Guangzhou – $2 billion). Six of the top ten riskiest ports are in the US, while the remaining two are located in Europe. Surprisingly, it is not just the biggest container hubs that have a high risk of loss. Smaller ports in the US such as Plaquemines, LA and Pascagoula, MS, as well as Bremerhaven in Germany, also feature in the ranking due to their cargo type and the natural hazards they face.
