    safety concerns.

    2.Infrastructure limitations:
    Inadequate port facilities, lack of
    navigable waterways, and shallow
    channels can hinder efficient water
    transportation.

    3.Security risks: Piracy, smuggling,


    and illegal activities pose risks to
    vessels and crew, requiring measures
    to ensure safety and security.
    Water Transportation and Global
    Trade
