Sea Transportation

Sea transportation is the process of carrying commercial goods and cargo via ships over the sea. It is an important transportation method in the logistics sector and accounts for approximately 80% of

the world's trade volume.

Different types of ships are used in sea transportation depending on the nature and quantity of the cargo. For example, bulk carriers transport agricultural products, raw materials, minerals, and coal,

while tankers carry petroleum, natural gas, chemicals, and liquid cargo. However, the majority of commercial cargo is transported by container ships.

Container ships are ships that have standard containers of various sizes and can perform loading and unloading operations regularly. Containers are standardized boxes that allow easy transportation and storage of cargo. Since they are made in standard sizes, loading and unloading of cargo onto the ship can be done faster and more easily. In addition, container ships can travel from port to port in a shorter time and deliver cargo more quickly. Container transportation has many advantages. Containers provide protection for cargo against weather conditions and other harmful effects, and they also enable safer transportation of cargo. Container transportation is also economical as it requires less labor for storage and transportation. However, sea transportation may face various challenges, such as congestion in ports, ship accidents, weather conditions, harm to marine life, and security issues.

In conclusion, sea transportation is an important transportation method in the logistics sector. Container transportation enables the fast, safe, and economical transportation of cargo. However,

with proper planning and management, all challenges can be overcome.
