In the 2013 the goods transported by sea in the world is piled to 9,6 billion tons (+3.8%)



In the 2013 total volume of the goods transported for marine way all over the world has been of about 9,6 billion tons, with an increment of +3.8% on the year precedence, increase that reflects the uncertain resumption of the world-wide economy. It evidences the study "Review of Maritime Transport 2014", the last relationship on the field of world-wide the marine transports published today from the Conference of the United Nations on the Commerce and Development (UNCTAD), that it emphasizes by sea as the marine transport constitutes the spine of international the commercial exchanges and of the total economy being transported about 80% of the world-wide commerce in volume and beyond 70% of the world-wide commerce in value.

Last year great part of the increase of the commerce for marine way - the document specifies - is generated by the increase of the volumes of goods bulk sand banks, in particular, grown of +5.6%. Identical it has turned out the increase of the containerized trade enlivened from the world-wide ports, than last year it is gone up to a total pairs to 651,1 million container teu.

For that it regards the consistency of the world-wide fleet, the relationship explains that at the beginning of this year it is reached a total ability pairs to 1,69 billion gross capacities in tons as a result of an increase of recorded +4.1% in 2013. The ships portarinfuse represent 42.9% of the tonnage total, continuations from oil tankers (28.5%) and portacontainer (12.8%). The study signals that this rate of growth turns out inferior to that found in any of last the 10 years and that the course in the first months of 2014 indicates a rate of growth still more content for 2014, slow down determined from the phase of decline of the most important historical cycle of the field of the shipbuilding that has reached its peak in 2012. The specific relationship that instead, with respect to the future deliveries of new ships, last year, for the first time by the economic and finalcial crises of 2008, the pocketbook orders light is increased for the majority of the types of ships; however, after the meaningful precedence decrease - the relationship of the UNCTAD emphasizes - us will want of the time before to return to a resumption of the orders of ships that prefigures the beginning of a new cycle of shipbuilding.

Edition 2014 of the Review of the realized marine transport from the UNCTAD introduces a new relative analysis to the property of the fleet, distinguishing between the concept of "nationality of the final owner" and of "center of the effective property", with according to which it identifies the center of the society of primary reference, that is the nationality of the society that stops the main commercial responsibility for the ship, while "the nationality of the final owner" independently characterizes the nationality of the owner of the ship from the center. Since today the majority of the ships fly the flag of a different nation from that of nationality of the owner of the ship - the UNCTAD observes - the specific relationship that the owners of the ships more and more stretch to place the center of their societies in the third-country, adding possible "a third dimension" to the definition of "nationality" of a ship.
