Although the speed of international maritime cargo transportation is low and the risk is high, it has become the main mode of transportation in international trade,because of the advantages of large transport capacity, large volume, low freight costs and strong adaptability to cargoes, as well as the unique global geographical conditions.
Eighty to ninety percent of the total volume of import and export cargo transportation in China is achieved by sea. And because of the rise and development of container transport, not only let the cargo transportation to the centralized and rationalized direction, but also save the cost of packaging materials and miscellaneous transport, reduce the difference of broken goods, ensure the quality of transport, shorten the transport time and reduce the cost of transport.

In recent years, China has gradually become a ship-exporting countryfrom the original ship-importing country and has entered the ranks of ship-exporting countries.
Because of the continuous development of China's seafaring technology, the overseas service of crew members has attracted the attention of countries all over the world. With the development of marine transportation industry, China's marine transportation fleet has entered the world's top ten, which provides conditions for future large-scale shipbreaking industry, not only provides cheap raw materials for Chinese steel mills, saves energy and imported ore consumption, but also exports scrap steel.
Thus, the development of marine transportation industry can not only improve the national industrial structure, but also improve the structure of commodities in international trade.
*The maritime fleet is an important reserve force for national defense.
During wartime, the ocean-going fleet has traditionally been used as a logistics vehicle.
