Sea - freight, as an important mode of transportation in global trade, undertakes the cross - border movement of a large number of goods. Due to their own characteristics and global supply - demand relationships, different goods vary in sea - freight volume. The following are some goods with high sea - freight volume:
Iron Ore: Iron ore is one of the dry bulk cargoes with the largest trade volume in sea - freight. Its trade concentration is relatively high. The main exporting countries are Brazil and Australia, accounting for more than 82% of the total exports. The main importing countries are China, as well as some Far - Eastern countries such as Japan and South Korea, and European countries. In 2023, the sea - freight volume of iron ore reached 1.543 billion tons, accounting for 27.88% of the dry bulk sea - freight volume.
Coal: Coal is known as "black gold" and the "food of industry". Its sea - freight volume accounts for about 25% of the total dry bulk sea - freight volume. The main exporting countries include Australia, Indonesia, South Africa, etc., and the main importing countries are China, Japan and other Far - Eastern countries and European countries. In 2023, the sea - freight volume of coal was 1.316 billion tons, accounting for 23.78% of the dry bulk sea - freight volume.
Petroleum: Petroleum, including crude oil and refined oil, is an important energy material in the world, and tanker transportation is its main sea - freight mode. The trans - oceanic routes from the Persian Gulf to Western Europe and Japan are its core routes, and super - tankers dominate the crude oil transportation with an annual volume of over 100 million tons. In 1980, the transportation volume of petroleum reached 1.665 billion tons, accounting for 45.8% of the world's foreign - trade sea - freight volume at that time. Although the proportion has changed with the growth of the transportation volume of other goods, it is still a good with a very high sea - freight volume.
Grain: The world grain trade scale has been gradually expanding, and grain accounts for about 10% of the global sea - freight trade stablely. Wheat is the largest - scale variety in the world grain trade. The exporting countries include the United States, Brazil, Argentina, etc., and the main importing countries are Far - Eastern countries, European countries and African countries. In 2023, the sea - freight volume of grain was 522 million tons, accounting for 9.44% of the dry bulk sea - freight volume.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG): With the increasing global demand for clean energy, the sea - freight volume of LNG is also growing day by day. Since 2023, China has become the world's largest LNG importer. In 2024, China's sea - freight imported LNG reached 76.65 million tons (about 106.5 billion cubic meters), an increase of 7.5% year - on - year. Globally, the sea - freight volume of LNG is also at a relatively high level, which is a key transported cargo to ensure the stability of energy supply.
Automobiles: Automobiles are also one of the goods with a large sea - freight volume. According to the report of Clarksons Research, the global sea - freight volume of automobiles reached 23.7 million in 2023, reaching a record high. With the promotion of the electrification transformation, the sea - freight volume of new energy vehicles has also increased significantly, and the sea - freight volume of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles accounted for 29%.
In addition to the above - mentioned goods, the sea - freight volumes of bauxite, phosphate rock, soybeans, logs, steel, chemical fertilizers, raw sugar, scrap steel and other goods are also relatively large. They play important roles in global industrial production, agricultural development and daily life, and promote the development of global trade.
The following is a table of goods with high sea - freight volume (due to the dynamic change of data and the difficulty of accurate ranking of some goods, this table lists common goods with high - volume sea - freight, regardless of order):
