How Important Are Ports in the Global Movement of Goods and People?

Maritime transport is the backbone of international trade and therefore vital to the global economy. 70% of all goods are carried by sea and transit through ports before being transferred to another mode of transportation.

The dominance of global water-borne trade, combined with the growth in the cruise and ferry industry, and with increased investment in commercial waterside and energy developments, demonstrate why the modern-day maritime sector is an important driver of local and global economic growth. Challenges are great, with more traffic, bigger ships, and increased integration of transport modes, all happening in a time of climate change and new regulations.
