The map was created by reddit user mattsdfgh who stiched together screenshots from KILN‘s ShipMap.org. All the data is from 2012.

Created by London-based data visualisation studio Kiln and the UCL Energy Institute
As you can see the map above also includes lots of other interesting data such as CO2 production, dry weight, liquid weight, gas, vehicles and of course containers.
