  3. One of its greatest benefits is that it does not require any route construction or maintenance.
  4. Sea routes and oceanic routes are most beneficial for transporting bulky goods from one country to another.
  5. Waterways is a major means of domestic and foreign trade. But, to establish as a major trading centre, the port must have a well-connected rail and road transit network.
