>>1614740Yeah, but they're also inferior to shipping in terms of cost and how much they can haul. Air cargo is but a small portion of commercial aviation due to the relatively high costs involved, though I'll concede that the speed of airplanes makes them superior to ships for transporting humans. Freight trains are good actually, but they're still vastly outclassed by ships. As for motor vehicles? Don't make me laugh - imagine the fleet of eighteen wheelers needed to haul around the amount of cargo even a single ship can carry. Ridiculous!
Make no mistake, those other modes of transport are good, and are useful, but they're also actually complete dogshit compared to maritime shipping.
