Storage capacity and volume
The ship is the mode of transportation with the highest capacity for moving enormous cargo loads. It cannot be compared to the storage capacity of a railway, plane, or truck.
Cost-effectiveness
A container ship nearly usually departs fully loaded, ensuring that the cost of each container is kept to a bare minimum. It is possible to share a container with other importers or exporters if you don’t require the entire container for your goods.
Safety and reliability
Ships are less weather-dependent than planes, therefore weather rarely delays their departures or arrivals.
