The results shown in the competitiveness index of international transportation indicate that the most competitive countries in international transport according to the variables assessed are: U.S. Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Sweden, Spain, Japan, Belgium, Denmark and Canada. Highlighting that, the countries of Latin America with the highest scores in this category are Brazil, followed by Panama, Chile and Costa Rica.
