Port congestion now a structural part of global supply chains: Maersk CEO
ProcIntel Risk Index (PRI) PRI indicates how much procurement risk attention a canonical event warrants, based on its potential impact, corroboration, linked-entity criticality, geographic or regulatory exposure, and confidence in the available evidence.
—
25 · Low
Freshness: Historical Shows how recently the evidence supporting the event was updated. Freshness is displayed separately and does not automatically reduce PRI.
PRI: 25 — LOW Base risk 56/100 × Low confidence multiplier (0.45). Highest contributor: Significance 52/100, normalised to this factor's 40-point cap (+21 of 40). Limiting factor: Significance 52/100, normalised to this factor's 40-point cap (19 points below its maximum).
Confidence multiplier Confidence limits the final PRI when evidence is uncertain. A severe but weakly supported claim cannot reach the highest PRI bands.: 0.45 (Low) · Calculated 2026-08-13 14:29:34 (vv1).
