Sea

Transportation
 History
The roots of sea transportation can be
traced back to the earliest human civilizations.
Over 5,000 years ago, Egyptians used rivers
and canals to transport goods.
History
Ancient Times:
In ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, Egypt,
Greece, and Rome, boats and ships were used for
fishing, transportation, and warfare. These early
vessels were typically made from wood and propelled
by oars or sails.
History
Age of
Exploration
European explorers set out to discover new lands
and establish trade routes. This period saw the
emergence of large sailing ships known as galleons
and caravels. Notable explorers like Christopher
Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan relied heavily on
sea transportation during their expeditions.
History
Industrial
Revolution
The invention of steam-powered ships replaced
traditional sailboats, revolutionizing maritime trade.
Steamships were faster and more reliable, allowing goods
and people to be transported more efficiently. The opening of
the Suez Canal in 1869 provided a direct and faster route
between Europe and Asia, further revolutionizing global
trade.
MODE OF
TRAVEL

Kayak
were originally developed by the Inuit
people of the Arctic for hunting and fishing
in the harsh polar waters. They are small,
lightweight, and maneuverable, making
them ideal for navigating narrow
waterways and rough seas. The kayak has
a long and rich history in the Philippines,
dating back to the pre-colonial era. The
indigenous people of the Philippines used
kayaks for a variety of purposes.
Mode Of Travel
Sailboat
The earliest known sailboats were used by
the ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians
around 4000 BC. These early sailboats
were small and simple, but they were
effective for traveling short distances
along rivers and coastal waters. Pre-
colonial era the indigenous people of the
Philippines use a variety of sailboats,
including the balangay, for transportation,
trade, and exploration.
Pesse Canoe
The term "pesse canoe" typically
refers to a traditional boat used by
the Dayak people in Borneo,
Indonesia. These canoes are
important in their culture and are
often used for various purposes,
including transportation and
rituals.

Boat
A boat is a watercraft designed to float on
and navigate across bodies of water,
typically with a hull to keep it afloat and
various mechanisms for propulsion. Boats
are used for transportation, recreation,
fishing, and various other purposes on
water.
Mode Of Travel
RAFT
Raft mode of travel has been around for
thousands of years, and is one of the
oldest forms of transportation. Served as
fishing platforms, allowed transportation
across bodies of water and even formed
floating islands for villages.
Balangay
They are found throughout the Philippines
and were used largely as trading ships up
until the colonial era. The oldest known
balangay are the Butuan boats, which have
been carbon-dated to 320 AD and were
recovered from several sites in Butuan,
Agusan del Norte. It was constructed
without the use of nails or metal, and could
carry up to 100 people and tons of cargo.

Climate change is a major threat to the shipping industry. Rising

Sea transportation is a major contributor to air pollution,

 Challenges
Sea travel is highly dependent on weather conditions, and storms,
high winds, and large waves can pose a significant risk to ships and
Weather passengers.
Technical failure: Ships are complex machines, and mechanical or
electrical failure can occur at any time. This can lead to delays,
cancellations, or even more serious problems.

Ships are typically equipped with medical facilities, but they may

 Challenges
Pirates pose a threat to the safety of crew members, passengers, and
cargo. Despite collaborative efforts among countries to combat
piracy, naval patrols, and international agreements, piracy remains a
Piracy persistent problem, especially in regions with weak governance and
political instability.

Terrorist organizations may perceive ports, ships, and maritime

is a result of a conflict in the inner ear, where the human balance mechanism
resides, and is caused by a vessel’s erratic motion on the water. Inside the
cabin of a rocking boat, for example, the inner ear detects changes in both
Seasickness up-and-down and side-to-side acceleration as one’s body bobs along with the
boat that can ultimately lead to nausea, vomiting, and vertigo.

In this day and age, it looks like ships (the ones traveling on water) are
significantly slower compared other major forum of transports. The fastest
Can Be Slower cargo ship is only 38 mph (Algol-class vehicle cargo ship) The fastest
than Other Methods passenger ship is 67 mph (The World’s Fastest Ship - Incat High Speed Ferry
Excels). They are definitely slower than rail, especially those high-speed
trains. Cars and even those big 18-wheelers that go 70 mph+.

(WHERE ARE WE RIGHT NOW?)

Cruise Ship are primarily used for leisure travel and provide passengers with a
luxurious, all-inclusive vacation experience. They typically operate on pre-
determined itineraries, stopping at various ports of call along the way. Passengers
can enjoy a wide range of activities and amenities on board, such as swimming
pools, restaurants, entertainment shows, and excursions at the ports.

Cruise ships
Ferries are primarily used for transportation purposes, shuttling people and
vehicles across bodies of water. They are often used for shorter distances and are
especially common in areas with many nearby islands or coastal communities.
Ferries can transport both passengers and vehicles, making them a convenient
mode of transportation for both locals and tourists.

A yacht is a recreational boat or ship that is used for leisure activities, such as
cruising and racing. Yachts are typically privately owned and are often associated
with luxury and wealth. They come in various sizes, from small sailing yachts to
large motor yachts.

Yacht
A container ship is a cargo vessel specifically designed to transport shipping
containers. These ships are used for international trade and are responsible for
carrying a significant amount of the world's goods. Container ships have large
storage capacities and are equipped with cranes and other equipment to facilitate
the loading and unloading of containers.

A speed or power boat is a motorized watercraft designed to move at high speeds
on the water. Generally, speed boats are used for water sports activities such as
racing, skiing, or wakeboarding. However, speed boats are also often used for
recreational purposes such as touring the sea or lake.

Speed Boat Passenger ships are used to transport people across the ocean. They can range in
size from small cruise ship to large ocean uners. Passenger ships typically have a
variety of amenities, such as restaurants, bars, swimming pools, and casiros.
Passenger ships play an important role in the global tourism industry. They allow
people to travel to different parts of the world and experience different cultures.
It also provide a unique way to travel, as they offer a variety of activities and
entertainment options.
