Maritime transport has experienced strong growth in recent years. As a result, international trade has grown at twice the rate of global GDP. Asia has established itself as the key platform for seaborne trade, accounting for some 41% of cargoes and 62% of discharges. The world's largest container ports are Shanghai, Singapore, Ningbo-Shoushan, and Shenzen. Europe ranks second in terms of sea transport, accounting for 16% of loadings and 19% of unloadings.
Italy has extremely extensive coastal borders and is the European Union's second-largest exporter of goods, behind Germany. Sea transport is well-developed on the peninsula. In the Mediterranean area, Italy is the most active country in terms of maritime transport, with 216 million tonnes of goods and a market share of 36%. Since 2016, Italy has also overtaken Germany and France regarding maritime trade with countries of the MENA region: the Middle East and North Africa.
