How many port concessions does Concessio track?

This is a selected-markets table, not the full 111-country breakdown, and its rows should not be added together — a summed figure would be an arithmetic guess, not a verified count.

Where is coverage deepest?

Croatia leads with 196 visible port concessions — a count that reflects how its county-port authorities publish concessions individually, down to small harbor and nautical awards — followed by Brazil (139), France (126) and India (121). China (94), Nigeria (87), Colombia (86) and Mexico (51) complete the markets shown. A high count can reflect genuinely more concessions, more granular disclosure, or both; Concessio tracks what port authorities and regulators actually publish.

Where does near-term re-tender pressure concentrate?

99 port records in Concessio's expiring pipeline reach end of term within 36 months. Croatia accounts for 41 of them, France for 16 and Brazil for 6. For context: 805 of the 1,414 visible port concessions carry a documented end date, so the near-term figure describes the documented pipeline, not every contract in force.

What contract and operating data sits behind the records?
