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 is a reliable means of transport. People prefer this kind of transportation more than other modes of transport due to its protective nature of their goods. The accidents are rare in this form of transport and people tend to have more trust in it. Disasters such as oil spillages cause more loss to the owner of goods and in this case being rare gives more hope to the owners of products hence they people rely more on it.

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.

Marine transportation is a cheap mode of transport. Different transportation machines use materials during their construction and maintenance. The materials used to construct ships are less expensive as compared to the ones used to build trucks and trains. Thus making its support cheaper and more manageable compared to other modes of transport. This low cost of maintenance makes the transportation more friendly and efficient during shipping.

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 machines emit fewer gases that pollute air pollution. Transportation machines emit dangerous gases that affect the pollutes the air. This gases such as carbon dioxide lead to the greenhouse effect and some other gases cause harm to the environment. Water transport machines emit less of this gases as compared to other transportation machines like trucks and trains hence making them more reliable.

Marine transportation offers flexible service thus making the mode more convenient and client friendly. Water transport can be flexible regarding deviation from one route to another due to fewer obstacles that prevent movement. Thus has therefore enabled the efficiency of transportation of either goods or people.

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.
