Exposed to chokepoints

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

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.
