How Warconomy uses this source

UNCTAD's annual flagship maritime report (2024 edition). Cited here for its mid-2024 assessment of the Red Sea / Suez disruption — a newer official figure that complements the February 2024 rapid assessment, but still a historical snapshot. Manually transcribed as a static fixture; not real-time and may be revised in later editions.
