Benefits Of Marine Transport To Human Livelihood

By Dorothy Nelson


Transportation is a significant factor that is always required in our daily activities. However, there is demand for increased marine transport facilities because of its superiority in the distribution of heavy goods in long distances and different coastal areas. The following are the advantages that make it be considered superior

It provides low risk of loss. The goods carried by the ships are less exposed to accidents because accidents are rarely experienced during the transportation process, e. G., oil spills. All people require the means that is more secure, reliable and effective transportation that keeps his goods safe from any interference. Marine traffic hence provides much more security as compared to the other means.

It prevents issues of environmental contamination. Noise is one factor that pollutes the environment. However marine transporting machines are made with engines that make them move smoothly on water without producing much sound that causes noise pollution. That is contrary to other modes of transportation, e. G., vehicles and trains that provide the roaring sound that pollutes the environment and makes the surrounding to be unfriendly.

It is pocket-friendly means of transport. All transportation materials require construction and maintenance. However, the materials used in each case differ regarding value. The materials used in the case of marine machines is cheaper as compared to one used in vehicles and trains. Therefore, makes water transport more cost friendly than the other means of transportation.

water transportation is less dangerous in polluting the air compared to other means like road transport. The materials emitted by the ships are less than the ones produced trucks and trains, e. G., cases such as carbon dioxide that causes greenhouse effects. Other materials emitted are carbon monoxide and oxides of sulfur. Ships emit less of this materials hence become more safe and reliable mode of transportation. Using sea transporting machines is, therefore, better and secure.

It promotes international trade . Trade in different continents, and various coastal areas have been made possible through water transport. It is useful for transporting large quantities of non-perishable goods over long distances, and different continents has played a major role in international trade. Traders from all over the world have found it easier to trade efficiently by using water transportation as a means of transport hence promoting global business. Traders can quickly and efficiently meet to carry out their trading activities.

Transportation is more tolerant as compared to trucks and trains. Rigid nature of traveling conditions makes transport difficult sometimes. However, marine traffic can be easily altered in case of any change of circumstances, e. G., moving from one area to another that may be as a result of weather conditions. That is made possible due to its flexible nature of the sea in that direction can be changed easily without difficulties. Therefore, makes marine transportation more tolerant.

It has the most significant carrying capacity that provides adequate space for carrying the goods. Marine transportation has a vast area where products of large quantities can be taken. This is due to the ample space available in the sea hence giving room for construction of large ships that will accommodate the required goods. Goods are then carried in large quantities along the distant coastal areas
