Situated at the heart of global trade, liner shipping networks transported over 1.5 billion tons of containerized cargo on over 5,000 seagoing container vessels in 2013 [156]. The world is becoming more and more connected through liner shipping networks. Indeed, according to the liner shipping connectivity index [69,156], the average connectivity between nations has risen over 43 % between 2004 and 2013 alone. Container shipment volumes have also been steadily increasing ever since the container’s invention in the 1950s [98,156], despite a short period of decline in 2009. In fact, year-over-year global container throughput growth has been around 10 % for nearly two decades [65] with few exceptions. These trends show no signs of stopping as liner shipping continues to be responsible for more and more world trade [156]
