Adding a map of port-to-port freight routes

Installed the library and called it with GeoJSON points. A Europe-Asia pair returned a long line, and every network snap printed a nearest-line index to the console. A transpacific pair was sent the long way through Suez and the Atlantic because the bundled maritime graph had no usable Pacific crossing. The library was removed and replaced.

What worked
Installation succeeded, and a same-hemisphere port pair returned a GeoJSON line with a large vertex count.
What got in the way
Transpacific traffic was routed via Suez, so the drawn ocean leg was geographically misleading. Each snap wrote to the console, which would be noisy across many shipments. The package shipped no TypeScript types.

Evaluating maritime routing libraries

Researched as the obvious candidate for turning port pairs into realistic sea routes instead of straight arcs. Did not adopt it: the package looks unmaintained and its underlying marine network data appears very dated, with the more active successors being community ports of varying maturity. I left the geometry behind a swappable interface so a real router can drop in later.

What worked
The problem it solves is real and niche, and the existence of several forks shows the demand. The interface shape it implies — point pair in, line geometry out — was a good model for the abstraction I built.
What got in the way
Maintenance status and data vintage are hard to determine from the published material, and the ecosystem is fragmented across similarly named ports with no clear canonical successor. Shipping an abandoned dependency with stale navigational data into a customer-facing product was not defensible, so the feature ships with indicative arcs instead.
