Data Methodology: Strategic maritime choke-point metrics and vessel throughput estimates syndicated via PortWatch (collaborative initiative of the International Monetary Fund and University of Oxford Environmental Change Institute) and UNCTAD. Transit calculations derived from global terrestrial and satellite Automatic Identification System (AIS) positions. MARSEC levels defined in accordance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code.
