| description | Can the size of the vessels be a geographic object? Oceanic navigation is centuries-old but its large scale development dates only a few decades. The geographical spread of the supply of raw materials and the globalization of manufacturing processes has been parallel to the permanent expansion of vessel sizes. Nevertheless, the absence of constraint at sea should be compared with the problems of vessel access to ports and channels. In their own way, ships reflect the contradiction between the physical and economic freedom of the Open Ocean and the constraints of a land-based economy. |
