## Understanding Maritime Rankings

### Key Ranking Criteria

Primary Factor

This ranking is based on how many strategic global shipping lanes a carrier operates on, reflecting their commercial influence and trade lane specialization.

### Our Methodology

01

#### Data Collection

We extract route data from carrier schedules, service alliances, and public shipping lane databases.

#### Verification

Confirmed via AIS tracking, trade route registries, and route classification (eg, Asia-Europe, Transatlantic).

03

#### Analysis

Carriers are ranked by total active participation in core global trade routes, factoring in frequency, directionality, and vessel capacity allocation.

04

#### Quarterly Updates

Trade lane participation is reviewed quarterly to reflect service changes, demand shifts, or alliance restructures.

### Why Route Participation Matters in Rankings

Operating on the world’s major shipping routes is a strong indicator of cargo volume handling, commercial reach, and carrier competitiveness.

#### Trade Corridor Control

Presence on key trade lanes enables companies to influence freight rates, schedules, and service standards.

#### Carrier Versatility

Multi-route operations support clients with diverse logistical needs across regions.

#### Global Visibility

It positions carriers as preferred partners for high-volume, global logistics contracts.
