Without shipping, the import and export of goods on this huge scale would not have been possible and we would not have been able to sustain in the competitive modern world.

Nearly 90% of the world’s goods are carried by sea while air, rail and road account for the balance 10%. The construction of mega vessels has immensely helped the ever-growing globalised economy. Transporting via ships is cost efficient, safe, moves big volumes and is also eco-friendly.
