Trade Flows

Seaborne cargo movements inferred from AIS: each laden leg is a load call followed by the vessel's next discharge at a different port, chained from our own port-call event model. Tonnage is a deadweight-based estimate; ton-miles use the sea-lane graph (straight-line where a lane isn't yet covered).

Where the ton-miles concentrate

Classified cargo ranked by ton-miles, the freight-work measure a leg count buries.

bn ton-miles

Of the 2237 legs with an inferred cargo type, container sailings are 45% of legs but 54% of ton-miles: long-haul boxship legs carry most of the freight work, while liquid-bulk runs are shorter-haul.

Cargo type inferred for 2246 of 6040 legs; the remaining 3794 (63%) could not be classified from AIS and are excluded from the breakdown above.

Each leg = a load call → the vessel’s next discharge at a different port, from the AIS port-call event model. Tonnage is a deadweight×0.9 proxy (not measured cargo); * marks a straight-line distance where the lane isn’t yet in the sea-route graph. Young and indicative. It densifies and upgrades to true sea-route distances as AIS history deepens. 6040 legs · 144.5 bn ton-miles.
