Crew-change hubs by coverage

All 115 hubs in our directory have IMO/ICS/IFSMA recognition; what varies is the support infrastructure indexed in this directory. Hubs ranked highly here have welfare-centre presence in our /centers data and port-authority data, meaning a seafarer arriving at one of these has the directory's full assistance toolset. The bias toward Asia and the Indian subcontinent reflects where centre coverage AND hub status overlap — the European and North American hubs are real, but our centre dataset under-indexes them today.

Data sourced from the seafarerindex datasets — see /sources for methodology. Rankings update each time the underlying data is refreshed.
