Lol… 3/4 of the traffic is US bound. The Pacific is half the planet, so anything not stopping in the Americas has a shorter route in the other direction.
No it isn’t. 72% total is coming OR leaving the US. Not US bound. The US actually exports quite a lot. Also, it would not be cheaper to go by rail across the country to use a ship on the closer side of where the stuff is destined for, no matter how good the rail system is.

yea, above comment is very confusing…americans and their egocentrism …
I blame Hollywood.
What difference does it make if the route begins or ends in the US?
