Shanghai ranks sixth out of the world's 10 largest shipping centers, according to a report published in July.

The Xinhua-Baltic Exchange International Shipping Centers Index 2015 was jointly published by Xinhua News Agency and the London-based Baltic Exchange, an independent provider of ocean freight index.

The index measures port conditions, services and environment of each shipping center and tracks dozens of major ports across the globe.

The top 10 international shipping centers are Singapore, London, Hong Kong, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Shanghai, Dubai, New York, Pusan and Athens, according to the report.
