A shipping fleet refers to a group of ships that are owned or operated by a single company or organization. These vessels are used for transporting goods and materials across oceans and waterways. Shipping fleets can vary in size and type, including cargo ships, tankers, and container ships, each designed for specific purposes. The efficiency of a shipping fleet is crucial for global trade, as it enables the movement of products between countries. Companies often manage their fleets to optimize routes, reduce costs, and ensure timely deliveries. This management includes maintenance, scheduling, and compliance with international regulations related to shipping and maritime safety.
