European Shipping Industry
The European shipping industry encompasses the transportation of goods and people by sea within and to/from Europe. It's vital for global trade, facilitating the movement of diverse products—from raw materials to finished goods—across countries and continents. Major European ports, like Rotterdam and Hamburg, serve as crucial hubs. This industry also includes shipbuilding, logistics, and maritime services, contributing significantly to the economy and job creation. Environmental regulations are increasingly influencing operations, promoting greener practices to reduce emissions and protect marine ecosystems while ensuring efficient and safe shipping practices.
