One continent, three oceans: North America's maritime gateways
North America touches three oceans, the Arctic, the Pacific and the Atlantic, with the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean to the south. Its ports and waterways decide how goods reach the world, and how the world reaches the continent.
Why the oceans matter
Most of the continent's trade with the rest of the world moves by sea. Each ocean coast serves a different set of partners and cargoes, and inland rail and waterways tie them together into one system.
Seeing the continent through its coasts, rather than its borders, shows where capacity, congestion and opportunity sit.
