From the Almanac

The term Maritime Industry describes the responsibility for the transportation of goods, products, and people by sea.

Ocean freight is surprisingly cheap.

Shipping accounts for 90% of world trade.

At any given time, there are about 20 million containers on their journey across the seas.

Worldwide, only 2% to 10% of containers are inspected.

Shipping industry is a greener form of transport compared to planes and trucks.

The average annual salary of a maritime worker ranges from USD 45,000 to USD 65,000.

Economic Outlook

UNCTAD predicted for the period 2023-2027 maritime trade growth would expand at an annual average of 2.1%.

This is a slower rate than the previous average of 3.3%.

The massive rise in energy costs is a main impact.
