transatlantic shipping

Transatlantic shipping involves transporting goods across the Atlantic Ocean between continents, primarily North America and Europe. Large cargo ships, known as container vessels, carry diverse products such as electronics, clothing, and raw materials in standardized containers, enabling efficient loading, unloading, and transfer. This maritime trade is vital for global commerce, supporting economies by facilitating the movement of goods over long distances. The process includes planning routes, managing port operations, and coordinating schedules to ensure timely delivery. Advances in navigation, logistics, and ship technology have increased reliability and efficiency in transatlantic shipping, linking markets and enabling worldwide supply chains.
