This article proposes a systematic review of papers dealing with maritime traffic whose methodology is based on a Complex Network Analysis (CNA) approach. The papers selected have been categorised, reviewed and analysed, extracting the most important characteristics of each, namely sources of information, geographical scope and network modelling characteristics, and then grouped according to the specific topics covered. The literature is classified according to two main streams: Papers dealing with a topological description of maritime networks, and papers applying a CNA approach to specific topics. In each case, an analysis is carried out, highlighting the most interesting concepts and methodologies of the selected papers, summarising the most important findings and proposing further topics for investigation. An additional analysis has been carried out with the keywords of the selected papers, creating a network and identifying seven communities representing and grouping the main research interest topics in the selected literature.

本文提出了有关海上交通的论文的系统综述，其方法基于复杂网络分析（CNA）方法。所选论文已经过分类，审查和分析，提取了每种论文的最重要特征，即信息来源，地理范围和网络建模特征，然后根据所涵盖的特定主题进行了分组。根据两个主要方面对文献进行分类：涉及海事网络拓扑描述的论文，以及将CNA方法应用于特定主题的论文。在每种情况下，都会进行分析，突出显示所选论文的最有趣的概念和方法，总结最重要的发现并提出进一步的研究主题。
