Maritime Transportation

Maritime transportation refers to the movement of goods and passengers by ships and boats over water. It plays a vital role in global trade, as around 90% of the world's cargo is transported by sea. This mode of transport is often more cost-effective for large volumes of goods compared to land or air freight. Key components include shipping lanes, ports for loading and unloading, and various types of vessels like cargo ships, tankers, and ferries. Maritime transportation is essential for connecting countries and facilitating economic growth while facing challenges like safety, environmental concerns, and international regulations.
