nternational maritime transport of goods refers to the act of a carrier, in accordance with the provisions of a maritime transport contract, using a sea vessel as the means of transportation, and receiving freight as compensation, to transport the goods consigned by the shipper through the sea route from one country's port to another country's port.
International sea freight is the most important mode of transportation in international trade, accounting for over two-thirds of the total volume of international trade. The vast majority of China's import and export goods are transported through ocean transportation.
