Maritime transportation

One of the most popular, inexpensive and efficient ways to transport goods over long distances is international maritime transportation. This type of cargo shipment has a lot of positive aspects in comparison with others (rail, road, air). However, maritime transportation is quite specific and requires a great deal of specialized knowledge for its successful implementation and documentation.

What are the advantages of maritime transportation of goods?

Maritime cargo transportation is the most profitable way to send large cargoes over long distances. This type of transportation is widely used by large international companies with active trade and production activities. Maritime transportation has a number of undoubted advantages:

• - relatively low cost of transportation (freight);
• - No restrictions on weight and dimensions (as opposed to air and road transportation);
• - maximum cargo integrity and safety;
• - Containerized cargo transportation also allows goods of different characteristics and types (e.g. fragile, hazardous, bulk, etc.) to be sent in one shipment and on one vessel.

The use of shipping containers greatly simplifies transportation and reduces the cost of transportation, as well as goods handling. Today there are many types of containers, which allows you to choose the most suitable for a particular cargo.
