Around 90% of world trade is carried by
the international shipping industry. Ship transports between regions are
designated deep-sea shipping, which, financially, is the most effective means
of
transport. Traffic is particularly heavy on shipping routes between the
large industrial regions of Asia, Europe and the USA. This part of the shipping
industry is in direct competition with air transport in respect of specific
high-value product groups.
Short-sea shipping covers transportation
within the regions and handles the redistribution of cargoes shipped to
regional centers by the deep-sea vessels. Short-sea often competes directly
with land-based transports.
