Maritime transport represents a crucial aspect of China's participation in international division of labor and the formation of competitive advantages globally. Distinct from other transportation modes, maritime transport offers advantages including large capacity, long-distance coverage, cost-effectiveness, and low-carbon environmental friendliness, making it the predominant mode for international trade. The development level and facilitation of maritime transport have become critical factors influencing a nation's cost competitiveness internationally, serving as a fundamental component for countries to engage in global division of labor and establish international competitive advantages.
