What Are Maritime Shipping Advantages?

Transportation plays a critical role in our everyday lives although its importance may be overlooked . In a developing global economy, a large number of cargos need to be transported in the shortest possible time. In order to freight thousands of containers “Mega-Ships” has been built. Because of many considerable advantages of maritime shipping over the other types of international shipping (Road, Rail and Air transport), approximately more than 90% of merchandises around the world is shipped by sea and ocean freight.

International Ocean Freight advantages make this way of shipping interesting for companies and big businesses. Maritime transport is regarded to be:

• An inexpensive shipping way;
• An Ideal way to ship the oversized cargos;
• The safest way to ship cargos (the least damages possible to the cargos);
• The most environmentally friendly shipping way.

Types of Ocean Freight

There are different types of sea shipping with different shipping rates.

  • Deep-sea Shipping:
    In this type, shipping is done intercontinentally by crossing oceans, covering long distances and the use of big vessels. Deep-See shipping often carries goods such as iron ore, oil, cement, and fertilizers.
  • Short-sea Shipping (Costal Shipping):
    Contrary to deep-see shipping, vessels which are used in this shipping are smaller and they cover short distances. The vessels can travel inland, along the seashores and other waters.
    Short-sea shipping is right for smaller cargos, which is shipped with different freight rates.
  • Inland Shipping:
    The vessels used in this type are designed for inland waterways (like rivers, canals and lakes). The quantity that can be transported by this vessels are the smallest compared to the first and second types.
