Sea lanes in use
ocean legs follow these lanes. Thickness is traffic on a
stretch relative to the busiest leg within each
chain, added up across the chains selected — not a volume, because the chains do not
share a unit.
Route network
every catalogued section, whether this corpus ships
through it or not. Thick is a core route — a
trunk flow between major markets — thin a secondary one, a connector, and
dashed a section the catalogue has classed as neither.
point names appear above 2.2× zoom. Ranked by category —
chokepoints and bases first, ports and storage next, then extraction and processing, then the
pipelines, railways, roads and waterways threading between them; this layer carries no
headline measure of its own, so ties are not broken by size. Linear assets carry no permanent
label — hover or click one to identify it.
