Fair point. The dataset only has annual aggregates per vessel, no voyage routes or port calls, so flag state is the only geographic dimension available. The more useful part is the emissions data: CO₂ per vessel, ETS costs per company, and how the fleet changed from 2018 to 2024. The globe is the interface for exploring that.
There is nothing in the dataset that would require the use of a globe to visualize anything. You could have drawn this as bar charts and it would give us the same information (with the added advantage of not being limited to a few countries at a time). Or even a 2D earth map.
It just turns on my CPU fans and gives me no insights.
That's fair. Thanks for checking it out.
