water transport

Water transport refers to the movement of goods and people over waterways, including rivers, lakes, and oceans. It encompasses various vessels, such as cargo ships, ferries, and barges, which are used to transport items ranging from raw materials to finished products. This mode of transport is often more fuel-efficient and cost-effective than road or air travel, especially for heavy or bulky items. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in international trade, connecting different parts of the world and facilitating the exchange of goods. Water transport also supports tourism with passenger services that explore scenic routes.
