shipping line
Ocean freight business
A shipping line is a company that operates cargo or passenger ships on regular routes.
The term emphasizes scheduled service between ports, distinguishing these carriers from charter vessels: Maersk is the world's largest container shipping line.
Also called a steamship line, though modern fleets no longer run on steam.
