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.

Marine transportation produces fewer air pollutant emissions. Every transporting machine emit toxic materials that are not friendly to the environment. When the comparison is made between ships or any water transportation equipment with trucks and trains, it is found out that boats emit less carbon dioxide and other air pollutants such as carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen and sulfur. This, however, makes it less pollutant.

Marine transportation enables access to distant areas and transportation of bulky goods between the coastal regions. Transportation to long distances with bulky goods has contributed majorly to the long-distance exchange of goods. Traders find it easy to move longer distances with their heavy products to meet with their fellow traders so that they can exchange their goods hence promoting international trade.

water transportation is open-ended. Traffic can be altered at any given time, e. G., changing the direction of movement. Thus is because nature is unpredictable. That is this is to made possible due to its easiness of progress on the water surface, and also the area available on the water surface is sufficient to cause any slight change of direction or movement to other areas required. Therefore, makes it more efficient and reliable means of transport.

It provides adequate space for storing and accommodating goods. The area available in the sea is large enough to accommodate big transporting machines that move on or in the waters. That enables people to carry as many goods as possible from one coastal area to another hence much space is available on the ships for accommodating the goods. It has Made water transportation more reliable regarding more products.
