transshipment

Shipping products through one port to another in a process known as transshipment is common in global trade.

Some vessels also engage in transshipment, offloading their catch without returning to shore, which can lead to prolonged periods at sea and increased risks.

It shows that in the last six years, more than 50 of these ships flagged to a dozen nations, including Argentina, have been implicated in illegal fishing, unauthorized transshipments or forced labor.

The Adani Group is already trying to get a larger slice of the global logistics market — the group started a first-of-its-kind transshipment port in October at India’s southernmost tip to beckon world’s biggest container ships.

Violence has surged in other Central American nations, like Honduras and even in once-peaceful Costa Rica, now believed to be a major warehousing and transshipment point for drugs heading onto Europe.
