marine transport

Ocean cargo movement

Marine transport is the movement of people or goods by water, whether across oceans, along coastlines, or through inland waterways like rivers and canals.

This includes commercial shipping, passenger ferries, and recreational boating.

The term encompasses both the vessels themselves and the broader industry of waterborne logistics.

Most international trade relies on marine transport.
