Short sea shipping includes all maritime transport services that do not cross an ocean. As part of the multimodal supply chain, it connects road, rail and inland waterways. With Europe’s vast network of rivers, short sea transport has long been essential to European trade.
Short sea vessels can transport steel, aluminium, paper, wood, grain, sand, gravel, liquids, bulk, breakbulk, oversized project cargo and more.
While short sea shipping may not necessarily be faster than trucks or trains, it offers much higher efficiency in logistics and supply chain management. Transporting large volumes of goods in one voyage reduces complexity, coordination and costs, while regular services help businesses plan their logistics more accurately.
