This map displays the largest container ports worldwide on a Bertin projection, with their Urquhart graph computed by `d3.geoVoronoi` and rendered as red geodesics. It shows how the network connects ports without regard for continental boundaries, as the dataset contains only port coordinates. The visualization uses `d3.geoPath` to draw countries, Voronoi polygons, and links in an SVG, with hover interactions revealing port names via polygon opacity changes.

AI-generated description

This map shows, on a Bertin projection, a selection of the largest container ports in the world. Their Urquhart graph is computed by d3.geoVoronoi and displayed in red geodesics.

(Re: the obvious geographical bugs: the dataset is composed only of the coordinates of ports and contains no knowledge of the shape of continents -- the network thus happily crosses through land.)
