Maritime freight is the process of transporting goods from one location to another via the ocean, and it is an indispensable part of international trade and the global supply chain. This mode of transportation utilizes various types of vessels, such as container ships, bulk carriers, and tankers, to carry out the task of moving goods. International maritime shipping specifically refers to the transportation of goods across national borders, connecting markets around the world and enabling different countries to exchange goods and resources.

In maritime transportation, the safety of goods, transportation costs, and transportation time are three key factors. International maritime shipping provides a relatively economical and efficient transportation solution for global trade by optimizing these factors. The advantages of maritime transportation lie in its enormous carrying capacity and lower costs, making shipping often the most suitable choice, especially for bulk goods or long-distance transportation.

The advantages of maritime freight include:

Cost-effectiveness: Compared to other modes of transportation, maritime freight usually offers lower shipping costs, especially for bulk goods or long-distance transport.

                  This is because ships can transport large quantities of goods at once, thereby spreading the shipping costs over individual items.

Large capacity: The amount of cargo that ships can carry far exceeds that of other types of transportation, making maritime transport the ideal choice for transporting bulk commodities such as crude oil, ores, and grains.

Environmentally friendly: Compared to air and land transport, sea transport has lower carbon emissions, making it a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation. This is an important consideration for companies seeking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Safety: The accident rate of maritime freight is relatively low, especially when using modern shipping technologies and management practices. In addition, for the transportation of certain hazardous goods, shipping provides a safer transportation route.

The disadvantages of maritime freight include:

Long transportation time: One major disadvantage of sea freight compared to air freight is the longer transportation time. This may affect goods that require fast transportation, such as time-sensitive products.

Susceptible to weather and sea conditions: The operational efficiency and safety of maritime freight are greatly affected by weather and sea conditions. Severe weather conditions can lead to delays, cargo damage, and even vessel accidents.

Infrastructure Dependence: Maritime freight heavily relies on ports and related logistics infrastructure. In some developing regions, inadequate infrastructure may limit the efficiency and accessibility of maritime transport.

Dry goods are the most commonly transported items, including retail products, automotive and electronic parts, paper products, etc.
