What are the pros and cons of international shipping?

Advantage:
1. Strong carrying capacity. The carrying capacity of sea transport can reach hundreds of thousands of tons. Its loading capacity far exceeds that of road and air transport, and it is the mode of transport with the strongest transport capacity.
2. The freight is cheap. Because the port equipment is generally built by the government, the ship can be durable, so the transportation cost of the goods is relatively affordable, especially for large-scale goods.
3. Strong adaptability. The adaptability mentioned here refers to the adaptation to the goods. Sea freight can basically adapt to the transportation of various goods, and some other transportation methods are inconvenient, and sea freight can basically meet them.
Disadvantage:
1. The transportation speed is slow. Due to the huge area of the hull, the long loading and unloading time, and the strong resistance on the water, the sea transportation is much slower than other transportation methods.
2. The risk is high. Due to the influence of the natural environment and the monsoon, there may be many unexpected situations during the transportation, and the possibility of distress is also very high.
