Advantages and disadvantages of cargo ship travel
| Freighter voyages are often glorified, but in
fairness, many drawbacks must also be pointed out. Here I want to compare the advantages with the disadvantages. |
| Positive: |
| - Freighter journeys are an adventure - No mass tourism, never many people around you - No ecological footprint, CO2-neutral travel - Real insights into seafaring possible - Lots of free time |
| Negative: |
| - No exact time planning - The risk of an interruption of the journey (e.g. accident, engine damage, etc.) is carried by the passenger - Bridge access can be more or less strongly regulated - Shore leave incalculable - Noise from machines and repair work |
| Important requirements: |
| - Health (a medical certificate may be required
in advance) - Good English language skills - Seaworthiness - No fear of heights |
