Economic risk due to maritime chokepoint disruptions a The economic risk for each maritime chokepoint, broken down by the economic loss type. The chokepoints are grouped in three categories for readability; high ( > USD100 million per year); medium (USD10-100 million per year) and low ( < USD10 million per year). b The economic risk as a percentage of the total maritime trade value of a country, highlighting countries with the largest relative economic risk. The hatched pattern indicates countries not included in the analysis. The basemap is from GADM.
