Helsingin Sanomat – Global Shipping Routes of Clothing Production and Distribution

A simplified world map shows major international transport routes used in the global clothing supply chain. Thick red arrows trace shipping paths from Malaysia and Hong Kong through South Asia and the Middle East to Baghdad, then onward to European destinations including Hamburg and Helsinki–Vantaa–Turku. Black dots mark key logistics hubs along the route. Oceans are shown in light blue, landmasses in white, and borders in light gray. The visual emphasizes the long, complex journey of clothing across continents before reaching consumers.
