The LMC report is compiled in cooperation between Menon Economics and the classification society DNV. Approximately 15000 cities are benchmarked on 40 different indicators. As before, we benchmark each maritime city based on five key pillars

• Shipping
• Maritime Finance & Law
• Maritime Technology
• Ports & Logistics
• Attractiveness & Competitiveness

Singapore’s strong performance across the five pillars sees it keeps its number one spot overall, followed by Rotterdam and London. Oslo retains its strong position in Maritime Technology and Finance & Law, and takes the 7^th place on the total ranking.
