Such methods help to detect the main topological and geographic structures of this network in order to answer three main questions. First, why are certain port nodes better connected than others? Such a level of hierarchy is best approached by testing the scale-free and rich-club dimension of the network. For this we measure node connectivity in various ways, from local to global indices, all confirming inequality in traffic distribution. Second, what is the influence of cargo specialisation or diversity on the network structure? This relates to the concepts of multiplexity and assortativity, i.e. the ability of nodes to diversify their activity or to specialise. Two principal layers are analysed and compared, namely cargo and bulk, showing that larger ports and links are more diversified. Lastly, what are the substructures or geographic patterns underlying the distribution of maritime flows? To answer this, we examine the influence of physical distance on connectivity and on the emergence of subnetworks.
