For Europe, maritime transport has been a catalyst for economic development and prosperity throughout its history. Maritime Transport enables trade and contacts: it ensures the security of supply of energy, food and commodities and provides the main vehicle for European imports and exports to the rest of the world. Almost 90% of the EU’s external freight trade is seaborne. Maritime transport is also crucial for the Japanese economy: the volume of maritime foreign transport in 2017 was 997 million tons. The EU-Japan EPA creates new opportunities to EU companies seeking to ship goods to Japan through Maritime transport.
