Summary/Abstract: The report tracks the main trends in the dynamics of global maritime trade from 2014 to 2023. Indicators related to the quantity of transported cargo by main types, continents and directions (loaded and unloaded quantities, respectively) are consistently analyzed at several points. The main types of cargo are divided into three groups – crude oil, other liquid cargo and dry cargo. Various methods of economic analysis were applied, such as the comparison method, the time series method, the index method, the method of disaggregating general indicators, the method of calculating coefficients, etc. For the purposes of the analysis, data from the official statistics of the International Maritime Organization were used.
