Advantages of Fast sea to USA

With the change in political, economic and trade environment and natural conditions, the route can be adjusted and changed at any time to complete the transportation task. Maritime transport channels are naturally formed, and port facilities are generally built by the government. Companies operating maritime transport businesses can save a lot of investment in infrastructure.

The large carrying capacity, long service time, long transportation mileage and low unit transportation cost of ships provide favorable conditions for the transportation of low value bulk goods.

2. Disadvantages: Ocean transportation is the slowest mode of transportation among various means of transportation. As marine transportation is at sea, it is greatly affected by natural conditions, such as typhoons, which can involve a transport ship into the sea floor, with relatively high risks. In addition, there are also risks such as piracy.
