Port and Shipping Industry

The port and shipping industry involves the transportation of goods and materials by sea. Ports are facilities where ships dock to load and unload cargo. This industry is crucial for global trade, as about 90% of international goods are transported by ships. Key components include container ships, which carry large quantities of containers, and bulk carriers, which transport raw materials. Efficient ports handle logistics, customs, and storage to facilitate trade. The industry supports economies, provides jobs, and connects countries, ensuring that products like food, electronics, and raw materials move from producers to consumers around the world.
