Despite early cartographical and graph-theoretical analyses of maritime flows in the 1940s and 1960s, it is only from the 2000s onwards that maritime network analysis had grown apace, backed by newly available shipping data, increased computational power, and renewed conceptual frameworks to study networks in general. The evolution of maritime network analysis, in geography and other sciences, is marked by a wide diversity of methods and themes, which we classify into three main parts. We first present studies looking at maritime flows in an abstract space, focusing on operational, statistical, or managerial aspects where navigation, graph structure, and firms' strategies are the key concerns. Second, we review researches where maritime flows and networks are markers and vectors of wider geo-economic structures and dynamics, such as regional inequalities and areas of dominance. Lastly, maritime networks have also been considered as integral parts of territories and wider chained systems, such as urban networks, regional networks, and coupled networks. We conclude that network analysis and maritime transport still share many uncovered areas and discuss potential research pathways for future works.

海事网络的地理:批判性评论

尽管在 1940 年代和 1960 年代对海洋流动进行了早期的制图和图论分析,但直到 2000 年代,在新可用的航运数据、增强的计算能力和更新的网络研究概念框架的支持下,海洋网络分析才迅速发展一般来说。海洋网络分析在地理学和其他科学中的演变以方法和主题的广泛多样性为特征,我们将其分为三个主要部分。我们首先介绍在抽象空间中研究海上流动的研究,重点关注运营、统计或管理方面,其中导航、图形结构和公司战略是关键问题。其次,我们回顾了海上流动和网络是更广泛地缘经济结构和动态的标记和载体的研究,例如区域不平等和优势领域。最后,海上网络也被认为是领土和更广泛的连锁系统(例如城市网络、区域网络和耦合网络)的组成部分。我们得出结论,网络分析和海上运输仍然有许多未发现的领域,并讨论了未来工作的潜在研究途径。
