– Mediterranean – Indian Ocean sea route connects Europe/North Africa/Middle East to Asia/Australia via the Suez Canal. It is extremely important and busy, but generally considered less busy than the North Atlantic in terms of total freight volume.
– Cape of Good Hope sea route goes around the southern tip of Africa. Historically vital before the Suez Canal, it is still used, particularly by very large vessels or when the Suez Canal is closed or congested, but it is not the busiest.
– The North Pacific sea route connects East Asia and North America. It is a major route for trade between these significant economies but carries less volume than the North Atlantic route.
