Extended information:

In waters around the world, under the constraints of natural conditions such as ports, tides, wind direction, water depth and distance on the earth's surface, a certain route available for ships to sail is called a route. Among many different routes, the maritime transport carrier comprehensively considers subjective and objective factors and selects the operating route to achieve the greatest economic benefits. The formation of a route mainly depends on the following factors: [2]

(I) Safety factors

Safety factors refer to the fact that the route of a ship's navigation must take into account various natural phenomena, such as wind direction, waves, tides, currents, reefs and drifting ice. Because the above phenomena will affect the safety of the ship's navigation.

(II) Freight factors

The freight factor refers to the amount of freight along the route. If the freight volume is large and there are many ships sailing, it must be a busy route.

(III) Port factors

Port factors refer to whether the water depth of the port where the ship passes through and docks is suitable, whether the climate is good, whether the waterway is wide, whether there are good storage and loading and unloading equipment, whether the inland transportation conditions are convenient, whether the port usage fee is low, and whether the fuel supply is sufficient.

(IV) Technical factors

Technical factors refer to the technical considerations of choosing the most economical and fast route when the ship is sailing.
