Ocean and Passenger Shipping Modes

Waterborne transport on the sea and across short stretches of water, by ocean-going ship and by ferry. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the mode maritime transport or a ferry. It excludes inland waterways and container shipping. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members. It is one of the groups under the Waterborne Mode subcategory of the Transport atlas, which has its own browse page listing every group and member.
