Full footprint: all 84 connections of Papeete aggregated over the SeaRoute (Eurostat) shipping lanes — each segment glows according to the estimated capacity it carries (IMF PortWatch, AIS 2019-2025).
IMF connection network based on vessel capacity before and after calling at this port (AIS 2019-2025). The time shown is the average elapsed between the call at one port and the next call at the other — it includes anchorage and berthing waits, which is why it far exceeds pure sailing time on short routes such as Algeciras–Tanger Med.
