Sea transportation has evolved significantly over centuries to serve growing global trade. Ancient times saw early coastal shipping while the 17th-18th centuries expanded routes. The 19th century saw further growth with new companies and infrastructure like the Suez Canal. Modern times brought industrialization, making sea transport vital for raw materials. Today, various ship types optimize different cargo with container ships, tankers and bulk carriers dominating. Key routes include transpacific, Europe-Asia, and oil routes through strategic chokepoints. Overall, sea transport remains the backbone of global commerce.

routes

33. East-West trade route: accounting for 50% of
containers, East-West trades, which circle the
globe in the Northern Hemisphere linking the
major industrial centres of North America, Western
Europe and Asia.
The North-South trade route: North-South trades
articulating around major production and
consumption centres of Europe, Asia and North
America, and linking these centres with developing
countries in the Southern Hemisphere and
accounts for about a quarter of containers.
Intraregional trades: operating in shorter hauls
and with smaller ships account for a third of the
containers.
