Summary
Many people around the globe rely on the low-cost transport of goods and commodities that commercial shipping provides. Indeed, about 90 per cent of the world’s traded goods are transported by sea, with more than 70 per cent of this being containerized cargo (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, 2017). Shipping densities are illustrated in Figure 1.1, demonstrating the great concentration of traffic along key routes.
