World Shipping Council members operate approximately 90 percent of the global liner ship capacity, providing approximately 400 regularly scheduled services linking the continents of the world. Collectively, these services transport about 60 percent of the value of global seaborne trade, and more than US$ 4 trillion worth of goods annually.
WSC will use this section to direct the shipping community to meaningful information being distributed by governments and other institutions around the world. More information will be added as it becomes available.
