Water transportation has advantages of being cheap and having high load carrying capacity compared to other modes, but is slower and more susceptible to weather. There are two types of waterways - inland waterways using rivers and canals, and ocean waterways using ships along coastal routes. Key terminals for water transportation are ports, which provide shelter for vessels and allow for loading and unloading of cargo. Factors in choosing terminal sites include customer needs, operations, economics, and community impact. Ships are the main unit of carriage for ocean transportation, able to carry a variety of products.
