Discover 20 Years of Global Trade at the Port of Bordeaux
An interactive map that brings two decades of imports and exports to life
The Port of Bordeaux manages a complex network of maritime trade routes with hundreds of partner ports worldwide. To better understand and communicate the evolution of its import/export activity, the Port commissioned 10h11 to design a fully interactive map powered by 20 years of historical trade data. The platform enables users to explore flows of goods between Bordeaux and the world in just a few clicks. Using dynamic filters — by product type, industry sector, and year range — stakeholders can analyze trends, identify strategic routes, and evaluate the port’s international impact over time. This tool combines big data, cartographic design, and intuitive UX to make global maritime trade data accessible, useful, and engaging.
