The advancing phenomenon of globalization is deeply connected to the development of the shipping industry: in fact, sea transportation is the core of interaction between different peoples, the foundation for exchange between cultures to take place. Frabemar Srl, a shipping company whose primary mission is to optimize procurement, particularly in the West African area, knows this very well.
With globalization comes the need to transfer goods and services from one geographical area to another: currently 90 percent of goods consumed in Western countries are transported on cargo ships. There are several elements that have encouraged the proliferation of these businesses: a significant reduction in transportation costs has occurred in recent decades, as well as the reduction of time on a global scale.
Technical innovation in the industry is steadily progressing: old, rusty, battered ships are being replaced by efficient, state-of-the-art vessels. Also testifying to the shipbuilding industry’s focus on innovation is the Department of New Technologies implemented prematurely by Frabemar Srl: the Department’s purpose is to ensure that instruments are constantly updated, for ships that are always efficient. In addition to innovation, for those who want to establish themselves among the winning companies in the industry, it should also be considered that over the years the size of transport ships has increased, along with their number. Among the innovations that revolutionized seaborne trade is certainly worth mentioning the invention of the container, introduced in 1956: the patent still allows tens of thousands of tons of products to be loaded and unloaded in a single day.
