Despite the world becoming a global village there is still need to commute from one place to another. Business needs to exchange commodities to ensure the growth of the economy. There are different modes of transport that are the disposal. The preference of one over the other is based on their personal and economic needs. Marine transport has been in use since time and is still used. A couple of business uses this mode due to the benefits and advantages realized in its use.

It is credited to the cheapest model. Among all the available modes this is the cheapest and most affordable and especially putting in weight the amount carried and distance covered. Freight charges are affordable for any business which enables them to cut on their total coasts hence raising the profit margins.

Safety of the goods and passengers is highly ensured. On the water, there are no hills or slopes it is completely flat. Much lower the possibility of accidents. Again there are no barriers that can hinder one vessel from seeing another to the point of causing accidents with each other. It, therefore, gets its rating among the safest modes to use.

More to this they are ideal for moving massive volumes of commodities. Most of the other modes carry an amount that is way too little compared to what sea vessels handle. They are massive as they have a wide and free area to move on hence there is a capacity to handle huge loads of commodities at ones.

More of an ability to handle mass they are eco-friendly. Ships and boats have the lowest level of pollution. They emit very minimal amounts of dangerous gases into the sea. To some extent where the wind is used to propel them, there is pollution at all. Moreover, their numbers are few hence pollution is limited.

Maintenance costs relating to this are meager and almost zero. The only costs that can be incurred are those that relate to the maintenance of landing docks. This reduces the expenditure by the governments and re-channeling of those costs to more constructive uses as the ways used by sea vessels are natural and require no maintenance or making.

The system can handle carriages that can carry commodities that require special specialized conditions. Some carriages can handle a mass of specialized commodities altogether without mixing them. This is because they have ample space needed for the containers including the equipment separate them. Being in a position to hold this makes it a choice for many especially those ferrying a variety of goods in mass.

Lastly, the government also leaps some benefits apart from the reduction of maintenance cost. The amount of revenue contributed is substantial from the import and export duties.Countries with seaports receive taxes from this, and it is considered as among the highest contributors in overall tax contribution in an economy. It also serves defense for the country against external enemies besides being an emergency option whenever air and land fail.
