Exposed to chokepoints

Where cargoes from this terminal would normally pass a maritime chokepoint, by destination market.

DestinationChokepoints on the usual routeAlternative route
East AsiaPanama CanalPanama slot availability and draught decide between these; the Cape is the fallback.Suez CanalStrait of Malacca
South AsiaSuez CanalBab el-MandebCape of Good Hope

Routing is an editorial model of typical laden voyages, held in a hand-maintained lane table. It is not vessel tracking, and it does not account for diversions, canal draught limits, ice class or seasonal closures. See methodology, browse every chokepoint, or take the machine-readable exposure feed.
