Shipping is very difficult, but it's also exciting, it's a passionate job. It contributes greatly to the economy and human welfare by reducing the cost of transport. Today, 90 percent of the total cargo is carried by sea in the world. Nations that dominate maritime trade also dominate the world. Sea transportation and ship agency are the basis of shipping. Ship agency requires a comprehensive and deep expertise. This expertise, which combines cargo and ship, has been achieved with thousands of years of accumulation. Cargo loading‐unloading, strait passage, passenger, maintenance‐repair, survey, crew change, tugboat assistance etc.
