What is sea transport?
Sea transport is a form of transporting goods using sea vehicles and infrastructure to serve transportation purposes. Commonly used vehicles will be boats and means of loading and unloading goods such as cranes... Infrastructure to serve sea transport includes seaports, transshipment ports...
Sea transport is suitable for areas with adjacent sea areas and ports for ships to dock. It is possible to transport goods by sea either domestically or internationally. Because transport ships are often large in scale and tonnage, this form of sea transport is often applied to the import-export industry to carry large quantities of goods.
Advantages of sea transport
In addition to meeting the needs of transporting goods, sea transport also has many other advantages for shippers to choose from:
Can transport goods of large size and volume.
There is almost no limit to the number of vehicles and transportation support tools.
Shipping costs are lower than other types.
Sea transport routes are almost natural traffic routes so there are fewer obstacles when traveling compared to roads.
High safety due to few collisions between cargo ships.
Contribute to expanding international trade via sea.
However, sea transport still has limitations such as:
Land delivery is not possible, so will need to be combined with other modes of transport.
It usually takes a lot of time, so it's not really suitable for express delivery needs.
Goods you should transport by sea
In addition to goods that are prohibited from being transported in any form, sea transport accepts most types of goods. This is considered one of the great advantages of sea transport. Thanks to that, for goods that are rejected by other forms of transport, the sender can consider switching to sea transport. Normally, goods selected for sea transport will be divided into categories within groups so that the shipping unit can have the most optimal transportation plan.
Goods with physical and chemical properties such as easily absorbing moisture, dangerous goods such as chemicals, solutions, dusty goods such as powders...
Goods that are easily affected by the environment such as spices, cigarettes, tea...
The cargo is not affected by other goods: construction materials, industrial materials...
In addition, sea transport also divides goods according to the form of transport:
Transporting by container mainly includes general goods.
Transport by barge for minerals, sand, stone...
Transport by refrigerated means for specific items.
Thus, from the advantages as well as regulations on goods transported by sea transport, the sender has an effective option for transporting goods. If there is no requirement for delivery speed, sea transport is one of the optimal shipping options for large volume orders.
