Maritime transport is one of the preferred methods of international transport, especially for exports and imports that do not deteriorate and are more heavily loaded. The low cost and the possibility of transporting a larger quantity of products together are the main factors that make international maritime transport stand out. In addition, it can be said that it is more suitable than some alternative transport methods in terms of cost.

It is a transport system in which tones of cargo are transported from one country to another in international waters, mainly by cargo ships. The goods transported by this method are those that can be described as rough cargo, as well as various products known as sensitive cargo that can be transported by sea. Cost-effectiveness and the ability to carry more cargo are important advantages of international maritime transport.

Maritime transport is a very advantageous mode of transport. Although it has many advantages, the most prominent advantages of sea transport are as follows

Among the advantages of international maritime transport, the ability to transport much more cargo at one time stands out. The fact that more cargo can be transported by ship, especially in the import and export of large industrial companies, has the effect of both speeding up production and reducing transport costs.

Transporting the cargo in bulk by container brings the transport fee to more affordable prices. Moreover, taking into account the advantages provided by Nbg Ialchin Logistics Maritime cargo transport, cargo transport by ship is more advantageous.

In general terms, it is the transport of people and goods that can be carried as cargo by air vehicles, especially aircraft and helicopters, over medium and long distances.

Smooth transport of goods is achieved by reaching coastal countries through international sea waters. This offers several advantages over alternative methods.

Sea transport is safer than road transport. However, delivery times are slightly longer than by road. The low volume of sea traffic makes maritime transport much safer.

In addition to accidents, the low number of possible illegal interventions on ships from outside makes maritime transport much safer.

The fact that variable costs are lower in maritime transport than in land, rail and air transport makes the cost of maritime transport more affordable.

The only cost factor between maritime and road transport is distance. In fact, the fact that ships can carry more cargo at a time than road methods significantly reduces costs.

Compared to alternative methods, we can talk about the existence of advanced loading and unloading systems. This makes it easier to load and unload cargo, as it requires less manpower.

As with all modes of transport, cargo transported by sea must be transported in accordance with certain international standards. Many types of cargo can be transported by ship. However, if we take a closer look;

• Export and import by sea using LCL containers
• Precious metals and ores
• Machines and vehicles
• All types of cement, soil or similar materials by bulk method
• All project transport on a door-to-door basis
• Transport of industrial materials
• Door-to-door logistics services
• Special container transport such as ISO tanks, flatrack, opentop
• Transport of fuels                                   
• Transport of coal and similar minerals
• Raw materials for industrial products

All kinds of materials that you can think of under and outside these headings can be transported by ship. The General Directorate of Maritime Affairs of the Ministry of Transport constantly publishes lists of ports that can be used.
