CARRIAGE OF CARGO BY SEA
People have been using water transport to deliver goods for thousands of years – even in the law book of the Babylonian King Hammurabi (abt 1750 B.C.) there is an article that starts with the words: “If a person hired a boatman and a ship and loaded it with grain, wool, oil, dates or any other cargo … “.
Today, the World Ocean is the most powerful transport artery of the planet, and transportation by sea is one of the most common and effective ways of cargo delivery. There are cabotage (between the ports of one state) and international maritime transport. In modern conditions of globalization and internationalization of production, international maritime transport service is one of the main conditions for the stable functioning of the world economy.
Cargo transportation by sea is a rather complicated part of the modern foreign trade business. For successful work in this area you need to have an accurate idea of:
- legal framework for the organization of international shipping;
- features of work in the international market of sea freight;
- legislative nuances of foreign economic activity and customs control;
- types of marine vessels and their technical capabilities;
- specifics of Russian and foreign seaports and container terminals.
Only by having all this knowledge you can choose the best from the logistics point of view cargo route: reliable, ensuring timely arrival at the destination and proper cargo security. And in case of unforeseen circumstances, the legal protection of the owner of the goods.
