The world's lanes,
at a glance.

Pick a lane from the map or the list to see its endpoints, transit time, chokepoints, and the open-source sources that compose its picture.

The single busiest container lane on Earth — consumer electronics, apparel, and machinery eastbound; recyclables and ag products westbound.

Backbone of global container trade. Diversions around the Cape add ~10 days and rebalance global capacity in days, not weeks.

Mature, high-value lane — pharma, specialty chemicals, machinery. Smaller in volume than Pacific lanes but premium in cargo mix.

VLCCs feeding the world's largest oil importer. Hormuz transit is the single most-watched chokepoint in energy OSINT.

Short-sea network that re-distributes mainline cargo across Asian secondary ports. Dense, high-frequency sailings.

Capesize bulkers feeding Chinese steel mills. A bellwether for global construction and heavy industry demand.

Soybean season swings global Panamax rates. Watching Santos queue depth is a real OSINT leading indicator.

Textiles, generic pharma, and engineering goods. Growing share of the Asia-Europe lane as supply chains rebalance.

Car carriers (PCTCs) on a metronome schedule. Volumes track the US auto sales cycle closely.

Bonny Light and Forcados crude to European refineries. A pricing signal for light-sweet differentials.

The fastest-growing energy lane post-2022. Daily flows are watchable in near real-time via vessel transponders.

Semiconductors, batteries, and consumer electronics. A barometer for the global tech cycle.
