COCLS (Part 1) -- Country cOnnectivity by Container Line Shipping software: the prototype, in part, demonstrates one of its databases developed by people in name of the project (early frames of the PM Part 1 video clip). 

It shows an intelligent decision support system (IDSS) for container shipping based on data partially submitted by UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade And Development).

In a nutshell: A Visualization, Simulation and Analysis tool on Historical/Real-time Data for: 

Visual path weights, 
Sorted ranks relative to 6 transportation parameters, Visual routes, 
Visual Alternative paths relative to global parameters such as: 
Real-time Economic, 
Real-time Environmental factors as surveyed between ports in form of a displayable matrix in Google Earth (GE).
In this project, we mainly introduced country-pairs based on our initial dataset.
