My sense of things is that if you averaged together all the shipping of the world, they'd probably end up tracing out some approximation of the great-circle routes between major ports around the world.

And then, as was mentioned before, there's specific chanels in places like the Straits of Gibraltar, the Strait of Hormuz, etc.

Anyone?
