    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.

*Maritime cargo transportation is one of the important channels for the country to save foreign exchange balance and increase foreign exchange income.

    In China, freight costs generally account for about ten percent of total foreign trade imports and exports. Especially, the freight cost of a large amount of goods accounts for a larger proportion.

And can earn more foreign exchange income.

In particular, our transport capacity into the international shipping market, and actively carry out third-country transport to create foreign exchange income for the country.

 The development of the maritime transport industry is conducive to improving the country's industrial structure and international trade export structure.

    Marine transportation is dependent on the practice of nautical activities to achieve, the basis of nautical activities is the shipbuilding industry, navigation technology and mastering the technology of seafarers. Shipbuilding industry is a comprehensive industry. Its development can also drive the development of the steel industry, ship equipment industry, electronic instrument industry, while promoting the improvement of the national industrial structure. 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. The United States, Britain and other countries referred to the merchant fleet as "the fourth service in addition to land, sea and air". The Soviet merchant fleet was also called the "shadow fleet" by Western countries.
