Supply chains, a key element of global trade, connect economies around the world and direct flows of goods. Maritime transportation has a strategic role today, as it has throughout history.
Maritime transportation is a key player in ensuring the safe, effective, and economical transportation of goods and products coming from and going to every corner of the world. Large capacity container ships and advanced port infrastructures have made maritime transportation an indispensable element of global supply chains. However, this important role is not limited to transporting large quantities of goods; It also has a critical role in accelerating the flow of trade, reducing costs, and adopting environmental sustainability principles. This study will examine the role maritime transportation in global supply chains. We will discuss the contributions of maritime transportation to global trade from a broader perspective; from its advantages to reliability, from environmental impacts to technological developments. In addition, in order to understand future trends and the sector’s evolution, we will make predictions, and examine the potential of maritime transportation.

Denizyolu Taşımacılığının Küresel Tedarik Zincirlerindeki Önemi

Öz

Küresel ticaretin kalbinde, karmaşık bir örgü gibi dokunan tedarik zincirleri, dünyanın dört bir yanındaki ekonomileri birbirine bağlamakta ve mal akışlarını yönlendirmektedir. Denizyolu taşımacılığı, tarih boyunca olduğu gibi günümüzde de stratejik bir role sahiptir. Denizyolu taşımacılığı, dünyanın her köşesinden gelen ve her yere giden mal ve ürünlerin güvenli, etkili ve ekonomik bir şekilde taşınmasını sağlayan kilit bir oyuncudur. Büyük kapasiteli konteyner gemileri ve gelişmiş liman altyapıları, denizyolu taşımacılığını küresel tedarik zincirlerinin vazgeçilmez bir unsuru haline getirmiştir. Ancak, bu önemli rol sadece büyük miktarlarda mal taşımakla sınırlı değildir; aynı zamanda ticaretin akışını hızlandırma, maliyetleri azaltma ve çevresel sürdürülebilirlik ilkelerini benimseme açısından da kritik bir role sahiptir. Bu çalışmada, denizyolu taşımacılığının küresel tedarik zincirlerinde oynadığı rol incelenecektir. Avantajlarından güvenilirliğine, çevresel etkilerinden teknolojik gelişmelere kadar geniş bir perspektifle denizyolu taşımacılığının küresel ticarete olan katkılarının ele alınması hedeflenmiştir.
