One of the basic laws of development of the modern world - globalization of the economy. In today 's world associated with the formation of economic space, exchange of information and technology interdependence of national economies is growing immeasurably.
Of course, globalization is not possible without the development of the global transport system, as a means of transport of goods between the various regions and contribute to the further development and implementation of regional comparative advantages. Thus, maritime transport, which occupies about 62% of global turnover, plays a major role in the process of economic globalization. Such benefits of maritime transport as a low cost, high capacity, high enough to ensure the safety of maritime

Total 226 containers were loaded. By contrast, modern container ships Class Triple E are able to load on board teusov 18,000, 80 times the load of the first container. The main container flows today are: Asia - Europe, the Mediterranean, the United States, Canada, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh; Europe - Mediterranean; East Asia - North-East Asia; East Asia - South East Asia; Europe - North America (Atlantic Coast). Along these lines carried more than 70% of all containerized cargo. It is expected that the volume of container traffic in the direction east - west and north - south will increase by 6% on average a year, because there is no doubt in the sustainable development of this …show more content…
Most countries either import refrigerated cargoes and exports dry or vice versa - that is the nature of world trade. This means that in one direction of the container are complete, the reverse - empty. Thus, ensuring the availability in all regions of the number of containers equal to the volume of demand for them - the main task of the shoreline, the solution of which requires substantial investment. So, every year the company Maersk Line is spending about $ 1 billion for the repositioning of containers.
At first glance, there is only one way to solve this problem - the so-called "evacuation" of containers, ie the movement of empty containers from surplus region in the lack of region - the easiest but most expensive way.

This provides the required amount of the appropriate region of the container equipment, but first, it is costly to transport empty containers, and secondly limits the free space on the vessel - damages the company are
Cash inflow increases and ship owners experience an unexpected large gain in finances. They purchase second hand tonnage in an attempt to capitalize on the increased level of demand second hand markets increased the value of it and are willing to pay high prices for them to meet the needs of increasing trade. Shippers are now willing to commit to long term charter parties to lock in rates and secure vessels to ensure that their cargo is transported. The banking sector gets blindsided by the amount of money moving in the shipping market and they begin loosening their lending criteria, abandoning in part or in whole prudent and basic lending principles. They are also not considering security on these loans especially if they have before them evidence of long-term charter
Ferry states several reasons for why France needs to urgently create colonies. His main and first point for expansion was purely economic. He initially states that France’s industrial advancement is one of the more important reasons for expansion. Mainly because he believes by creating colonies it will open new avenues, specifically markets for which products of industrialized France can then push their products into. This necessity for generating export markets for their products arose primarily due to the trade treaties of 1860-1861.
During the Triangular Trade, natural resources, goods, crops, and slaves were trade to the New World (Americas). Middle Passage was a stage of the Triangular Trade where millions of African slaves were shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean Islands (West Indies) and North and South America. The slaves weren’t treated fairly and in fact they were exploited. They were abused, whipped, and harmed by the Spaniards.
Traverse City Michigan is a small town in Northern Michigan, with a port, an airport, a rail system running through it, and lots of roads. While there is most likely the most freight carried through trucking on the roads, I would like to talk about the shipping industry. Because Traverse City is located with access to the Lake Michigan there is obviously a great deal of materials shipped over the water. Water is the cheapest, besides pipeline, of the 5 major transportation modes; if a city is located on the water it makes sense to take advantage of it. According to the Michigan Department of Transportation in 2009 the port of Traverse City transported somewhere between 100,000 and 900,000 tons of freight.
Every year, Americans across the country gather to celebrate their independence and freedom from the British government. On July 4th, 1776, America officially declared their independance from England, and the American people would be free from British tyranny. In the beginning, the Colonists did not want to be independant from the British Government, and were happily living in America and making money and embracing their freedoms(Notes Cite). However, the British government began to take away their freedoms and their rights by using taxes and implementing acts that upset the Colonists(Notes Cites).The colonists came to America to free themselves from persecution in Britain, and to start over and create a better life for themselves. In the

Many changes and continuities have been seen in trade on the Indian Ocean region between 650 CE to 1750 CE.

Lawrence Seaway is a vital part of Canada’s economy and has led to the country increasing its efficiency in transportation, maximizing profit, and becoming a very active exporter and importer of goods. Officially opened on June 26, 1959 (Hamelin, 2014), the seaway was and is still a very efficient method of transportation for bulk goods not only around Ontario, Quebec, and the US, but it also connects directly to the Atlantic Ocean where international cargo and freight ships can travel. Goods can travel much faster than in the past, and there is no longer any need for the tedious use of multiple forms of transportation like prior to 1959. The St. Lawrence Seaway makes Canada famous for being one of the most heavily used trade routes worldwide (Shaw, 2009). Although the almost staggering cost of construction and maintenance for Canada was three hundred and thirty million dollars, after the installation of six hundred million dollars worth of hydroelectric implementations financed by both Canada and the US, the gross profit earned from the seaway allowed the nation to repay all related debts (Hamelin, 2014).

As per the context of the case study, we have come up with three possible actions that can be taken in order to meet the excess inventory problem are geographical expansion and increasing the market size by covering the untapped market in South and Central parts of America or making an internal agreement with a small manufacturing company that imports raw fishes and produces fish allied products such as fish oil, fish sauce, etc. Else we can launch a ‘Limited Edition Product’ by increasing the quantity per package at the existing price and providing exciting offers. The underlying cause of excess inventory in Neptune Gourmet Seafood is due to limited target market size. Neptune has to identify areas that are isolated from its product and enter new geographic markets.

According to iRami (2012) stated that the shipping plays an important role in world trade which is the backbone of the world economy. Recently, without these boats and vessels provide transportation services, many countries will be unable to participate in world trade and will not be as prosperous. From centuries past, the sea has always been important to all country at the world which as an important factor of economic development of every maritime country. The maritime sector contributes significantly to the economic development. Underling this is the fact that 95% of the country international trade is carried in whole or in part by maritime transport.
