What we notice straight away, is the large amount of (busy) ports in east Asia. You can see how crowded the map is around the coastline of Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong.
2 other areas that contain a large number of cargo ports close together, are north western Europe and the Gulf Coast of the US.
