Supplied via

Chokepoints that cargoes arriving at this terminal typically cross, based on where its region is supplied from.

  • Strait of Gibraltar
  • Suez Canal
  • Bab el-Mandeb
  • Danish Straits

Atlantic-basin supply from the United States crosses no chokepoint, which is why the European exposure figure is lower than it looks.

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, or take the machine-readable exposure feed. Links to the Chokepoints site are inactive until its domain is set in the environment.
