Visualizing Holes in Global Infrastructure


The International Chamber of Commerce has a nice google maps mashup visualizing pirate attacks in 2008. On the Gulf of Aden front, there is an incredibly detailed google map showing the relevant shipping routes, suspected resupply points and key ports.

One way to view all of this is as the frayed edges of the global maritime transport infrastructure. It represents an opportunity to develop a more resilient global platform - there is a sizable foreign policy and profit payoff for whoever figures out effective improvements to the platform.
