Ships and shipping

Ships are large vessels designed for transporting goods and people across water, primarily oceans and seas. Shipping refers to the process of moving these items by sea, utilizing various types of ships like cargo ships, tankers, and cruise liners. It plays a crucial role in global trade, as approximately 90% of the world’s goods are transported via shipping. The industry involves logistics, navigation, and international regulations to ensure safety and efficiency. Shipping also impacts economies, environments, and cultures by connecting distant markets and facilitating international relations.
