This is a really cool. An interactive map showing the fifty largest container ports and their volumes, the size of the trade lanes between them ? and it has satellite maps showing the ports themselves. Not quite hours of fun, but definitely worth a few clicks to see a tangible picture of world trade by sea.

Cool, nevertheless

This is the top 50 container ports – big as Freeport is, I’m pretty sure it’s outside the top 50.
Kind regards,
