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