A shipping company is a business that specializes in transporting goods and products from one location to another. They use various modes of transportation, including ships, trucks, and trains, to move cargo across oceans, rivers, and land. Shipping companies play a crucial role in global trade by ensuring that products reach their destinations safely and on time. These companies often provide additional services such as packaging, warehousing, and customs clearance to facilitate the shipping process. Major shipping companies, like Maersk and MSC, operate large fleets of vessels and have extensive networks to handle international shipments efficiently.
