Such kind of transportation is the most widespread where intercontinental transportation of large cargoes is required and because of reliability and fairly low cost. However it has to be noted that it is the longest type of delivery in terms of time. For example, transportation of a container from the port of New York city to Saint-Petersburg may last 20-30 days. Despite all this, industry of ocean transportation is rapidly developing - over the last 15 years, volume of cargoes transported by seas and oceans has increased by 50% and the global cargo flow rate in terms of money is over 4.5 trillion US dollars a year.
