Shipping Industry Steers Global Commerce

A critical component of world trade, the international shipping industry makes cost-effective transport of goods around the globe possible. While the sheer size and scope of this industry are difficult to comprehend, these fast facts tell the story.

Did you know that:

• Almost 90 percent of everything we buy arrives via ship.
• A container ship travels the equivalent of three-quarters of the way to the moon and back in one year during its regular travel across the oceans.
• The largest ships can store 745 million bananas in nearly 15,000 containers. That's about one for every person in Europe and North America.
• There are approximately 55,000 merchant ships carrying cargo around the world.
• Around 1.5 million seafarers are employed by the global shipping industry.
