How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a 0 to 100 point value for direct liner shipping connectivity. 0 means no directly usable liner seaport, while 100 means very strong integration into global container and liner networks.

The main public anchor is UNCTAD's liner shipping connectivity index, available through the World Bank database. It measures how well a country is connected to global liner shipping networks.

Landlocked countries do not receive an artificial base value in this raw value, because the indicator measures direct port connectivity. Their indirect use of foreign ports is handled through logistics performance, rail network density and airport connectivity at board level.

Small island states can receive positive values if regular liner shipping is practically available. Very limited or irregular connectivity leads to low raw values.

The rating follows the raw value. When the raw value is 0, the Nomadino rating remains at the lower scale point so the ranking stays technically comparable.
