shipping trade

Shipping trade refers to the transportation of goods and commodities across oceans and seas via ships. It is essential for global commerce, enabling countries to exchange products that may not be available locally. Shipping involves various types of vessels, such as container ships, bulk carriers, and tankers, each designed for specific cargo types. The shipping industry includes logistics, port operations, and international regulations, impacting economies, availability of goods, and prices. Sustainable practices are increasingly important due to environmental concerns, with efforts to reduce emissions and improve efficiency in shipping operations.
