Abstract: The paper aims to explain the evolution of the containerized and general cargo maritime routes in the last 3 years using complex networks analysis. Several particular results are searched: which ports are currently rising or dwindling in throughput; how is the structure of their network dynamics; and how to describe the resemblances and differences between these two transport patterns.
