Transport for Tourism
2.1
1. High Initial Investment and Maintenance Costs – The construction of ports,
ships, and related infrastructure requires significant financial investment.
Additionally, maintaining vessels and port facilities is costly.
2. Harsh Weather Conditions – Extreme weather events such as hurricanes,
storms, and rough seas can delay shipments, damage vessels, and increase
operational risks.
3. Piracy and Security Threats – Piracy remains a major concern in certain
regions like the Gulf of Aden and the Strait of Malacca. Security risks discourage
investors and increase insurance costs for shipping companies.
4. Slow Speed Compared to Other Modes – Sea transport is generally slower
than air or rail transport, making it less suitable for time-sensitive goods such as
perishable items.
5. Port Congestion and Inefficiencies – Some major ports experience congestion
due to high cargo volumes, inadequate infrastructure, and inefficient cargo
handling, leading to delays in shipping schedules.
6. Environmental Regulations and Concerns – Strict environmental laws aimed
at reducing pollution from ships, such as the International Maritime
Organization’s (IMO) emissions regulations, increase operational costs for
shipping companies.
