This paper points out the possibilities of better exploitation of marine traffic as well as its connection with other kinds of traffic. Special attention is given to the analysis of 1,081 harbors about their availability during the year. The methods and algorithms used in GIS are buffers, cluster, method of interpolations, and network analysis. The methods used for the purpose of conducting numerical analyses are algorithms that served for the analysis of the network, its transport features, and the connectivity with harbors in terms of geospace. The main results found in this research showed that harbors have good connectivity in the first place with road traffic and after that with air and railroad traffic. According to data from 2019, all traffic lines cover 4.1 × 1015 km, and the road traffic has the most significant potential in connection with the harbors. The most connected harbors and airports are in the east coast of North America, west coast, north Europe, southern Europe, south-east Australia, a central part of Oceania, and south-east Africa. The results in the modified Likert scale between airports and harbors showed medium results. The densest road network is located in the eastern part of USA, western and central part of Europe, and east coast of China. The number of possible connected lines between main road nodes and harbors is 0.8 × 109. This type of traffic showed excellent results and connection with harbors. The number of possible connected lines per month between railroads and harbors is 1.3 × 103. This type of traffic showed low connectivity with the harbors. In the end comparison of harbors with air, road and railroad networks were established. The geographical position of harbors was analyzed, and better understanding was performed on a global scale.

La logistique est désormais une clef du développement. Dans la mondialisation en cours, le continent africain s’impose de plus en plus comme un acteur important, malgré ses faiblesses. Les grands opérateurs logistiques mondialisés sont confiants pour son avenir. Ils investissent dans les terminaux portuaires et sont des acteurs de l’amélioration des accessibilités intérieures. Cet article vise à souligner combien il est important de poser la question des effets sociaux et politiques de cette évolution, qui place en concurrence ports, corridors et États. La seule vraie question est celle de la capacité de la logistique à contribuer au développement des populations africaines.Logistics has become a key component in development and Africa is emerging as a new partner in globalization, constantly gaining ground, despite certain weaknesses. Major logistics operators around the world now recognize its potential as a player in global market networks. They invest in new terminals and work toward improving accessibility for inland areas. This article focuses on the social and political effects of these growing development pressures that drive ports, communication corridors and countries into competition. One fundamental question still remains: how can logistics best be used in the development of African societies?De ahora en adelante, la logística será una llave del desarrollo. En el proceso de mundialización, el Continente Africano se impone, de más en más, como un actor importante, pese a sus puntos frágiles. Los grandes operadores logísticos mundializados confían en su porvenir, Invertiendo en terminales portuarias y son actores del mejoramiento de la accesibilidad interior. Este artículo demuestra la importancia de plantear la cuestión sobre los efectos sociales y políticos de esta evolución que pone en competencia puertos, corredores y Estados. La única y verdadera pregunta concierne capacidad de la logística a contribuir al desarrollo de las poblaciones africanas
