Sea Transportation

Sea transport systems in today's shipping market have evolved into three separate but closely connected segments: bulk shipping, liner shipping and specialized shipping

Bulk Shipping

The bulk shipping industry carries large parcels of raw materials and bulky semi-manufactures.

Liner Shipping

The liner service transports small parcels of general cargo, which includes manufactured and semi-manufactured goods and many small quantities of bulk commodities.

there are so many parcels to handle on each voyage, this is an organization-intensive business.

Specialized Shipping

Specialized shipping services transport difficult cargoes of which the five most important are cars, forest product, refrigerated cargo, chemicals and liquified gas.

These trades fall somewhere between bulk and liner. Service provides in these trades invest in specialized ships and offer higher

service levels than bulk shipping.
