How many port concessions does Concessio track?
1,414 visible port concessions across 111 countries, as of August 2026. The table below shows the eight markets with the deepest visible stock; the remaining roughly 100 countries carry smaller counts each and aren't broken out individually here.
| Country | Visible port concessions |
|---|---|
| Croatia | 196 |
| Brazil | 139 |
| France | 126 |
| India | 121 |
| China | 94 |
| Nigeria | 87 |
| Colombia | 86 |
| Mexico | 51 |
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?
| Data type | Count |
|---|---|
| Operational KPI records | 196 |
| Extracted contract clauses | 71 |
| Reaching end of term within 36 months | 99 |
| Records with a documented end date | 805 |
Port records carry 196 operational KPI records — chiefly container and cargo throughput — and 71 extracted contract clauses covering concession fees and hand-back obligations, each cited to the underlying source document.
