maritime traffic
Vessels at sea
Maritime traffic refers to the movement of vessels—ships, boats, ferries, and other watercraft—through oceans, seas, rivers, and other navigable waterways.
The term encompasses commercial shipping, fishing fleets, passenger vessels, and military craft traveling established routes or transiting ports and harbors.
Maritime traffic is monitored and regulated to prevent collisions, manage congestion in busy shipping lanes, and ensure safe passage.
The Strait of Malacca handles some of the heaviest maritime traffic in the world.
