Since ancient times, the sea and the watercourses in general have been a means of obtaining food resources, especially for the riverside populations and, for the last five centuries, the main route for long-distance travel, transport and trade. In other words, since that time maritime routes have connected different global areas, boosting commercial, but also cultural and human exchanges, in a movement whose enormous importance led it to be known as the «opening of the world» (or other similar expressions). This «opening» was nothing more than a game of connections between continents, cultures, people, economic and scientific complexes, via the oceans. In the long term, the development of navigation techniques, naval architecture and naval industries were crucial factors to this equation. In our time, maritime transport is one of the most dynamic economic sectors, essential to the movement of large volumes of goods and of a growing number of travelers (increasingly synonymous with tourists — as seen in the huge development of the cruise industry) with lower costs and lower environmental impacts. From an economic point of view, containerization revolutionized a sector that, however, has faced advances and substantial transformations during the last five centuries, as studied by numerous specialists.

Description: The history of humankind is inseparable from the understanding of the specific ways human societies connect with the sea. Since ancient times, the sea and the watercourses
in general have been a means of obtaining food resources, especially for the riverside populations and, for the last five centuries, the main route for long-distance
travel, transport and trade. In other words, since that time maritime routes have connected different global areas, boosting commercial, but also cultural and human
exchanges, in a movement whose enormous importance led it to be known as the «opening of the world» (or other similar expressions). This «opening» was nothing
more than a game of connections between continents, cultures, people, economic and scientific complexes, via the oceans. In the long term, the development of navigation
techniques, naval architecture and naval industries were crucial factors to this equation. In our time, maritime transport is one of the most dynamic economic sectors,
essential to the movement of large volumes of goods and of a growing number of travelers (increasingly synonymous with tourists — as seen in the huge development
of the cruise industry) with lower costs and lower environmental impacts. From an economic point of view, containerization revolutionized a sector that, however, has faced
advances and substantial transformations during the last five centuries, as studied by numerous specialists.
