Illustrative: trade lanes between the major ports, between generated places
Risk Academy, led by the Nexus Consortium · Infrastructure, Energy and Industry
The discipline covers transport networks, ports, airports, logistics hubs and freight corridors, their exposure to hazards, accidents and disruption, and the role of transport in supply chains and emergency response.

The model From a closed strait to a lost sailing: how rerouting turns distance into days, cost and capacity
The subtopics its courses and labs teach.
For port and airport operators, transport planners, freight and logistics managers and emergency planners who need to measure network vulnerability, chokepoint exposure and the cost of rerouting when a link or hub is lost.
Each method is listed with what it assumes and where it fails.
Bodies and standards are named so learners can find and apply their published work; the Academy teaches their use and links to the publisher, and no affiliation is implied.
