These routes don’t just carry goods...

 

◼️ASIA-EUROPE ROUTE

 

 

Connects Asia’s commercial hubs (China, Japan, South Korea) with European markets like France, Germany, and the Netherlands. The Suez Canal is the shortcut that links the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. 

◼️TRANSATLANTIC SHIPPING ROUTE

 

 

Stretches across the Atlantic, linking North America 🇺🇸🇨🇦 with Europe. It’s key for transporting electronics, automobiles, machines, and chemicals.

◼️TRANS-PACIFIC OCEAN TRADE ROUTE

 

 

Links East Asia (especially China) with North America’s West Coast (mainly the U.S.). Crossing the South China Sea & Taiwan Strait, it’s one of the busiest and most vital for transporting consumer goods.

◼️INTRA-ASIA ROUTE

 

 

Connecting East Asia (China, Japan, South Korea) with Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Oceania, this route relies on critical waterways like the South China Sea, Indian Ocean, and the Strait of Malacca.

◼️PANAMA CANAL ROUTE

 

 

Connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, shortening voyages between the east and west coasts of the Americas. At 80 km long, the canal uses a lock system to move ships between the two oceans, probably why Trump wants it.

◼️SOUTH AMERICA-EUROPE TRADE ROUTE

 

 

Connects South American ports (Argentina, Brazil, Chile) with key European ports (Spain, UK, Netherlands, Portugal), playing a major role in the trade of raw materials and agricultural products.

◼️ ASIA-MIDDLE EAST ROUTE

 

 

Connects Asian ports (China, India, Southeast Asia) with Middle Eastern ports (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman) via the Arabian Sea. The Hormuz Strait is vital for oil and gas trade between the regions.
