Islam began in the 600s AD when the angel Gabriel revealed the Quran to Muhammad near Mecca. Muslims believe Allah put the words of the Quran into Muhammad's head. Muhammad began preaching in Mecca, causing tension as it was a polytheistic city, forcing him to leave. By 624 AD, Muhammad slowly built an army and conquered Mecca by 629 AD, destroying all religious idols. After Muhammad's death, a power struggle emerged between Abu Bakr and Ali Talib over who would lead the Muslim community, dividing Islam into the Sunni and Shia sects that still exist today with ongoing geo-political issues.

El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
