cargo routes

Freight transportation corridors

Cargo routes are established paths for transporting goods, whether by sea, air, rail, or road.

The term emphasizes regular commercial shipping lanes rather than one-time deliveries: The Suez Canal is one of the world's busiest cargo routes.

Maritime cargo routes connecting major ports have shaped global trade for centuries.

New cargo routes opened after the port expansion.
