Maritime transport is one of the most important transport methods that form the backbone of world trade. The ability to transport especially large volumes and heavy loads over long distances in an economical way makes maritime transport unique in global logistics. The high capacity of ships makes it possible to transport different types of products safely and efficiently thanks to container transport. Goods transported by sea account for about 90% of global trade, which demonstrates the impact of maritime transport on the world economy.

In addition to offering cost advantages, maritime transport is also an environmentally friendly option. Since ships can transport large volumes of cargo at once, the carbon emission per unit is lower compared to other transport methods. However, since maritime transport generally has longer transit times, it is preferred for transporting non-urgent cargoes. However, with today’s developing port infrastructures, container tracking and digitalisation, these processes have been further optimised and time losses in customs and logistics processes have been reduced.
