The Syrian Arab Republic functions as a vital trade center between Asia Europe and Africa because of its strategic position in the Middle East. The country sustains vital transportation connections through its seaports and road systems and air transportation routes despite ongoing difficulties.

The Syrian shipping industry operates from these strategic locations to connect domestic trade with European and Asian and Middle Eastern markets. The ongoing efforts to improve facilities and sustain port operations prove that maritime logistics remains vital despite current infrastructure challenges.
Road Transport in Syria: The majority of Syria's cargo transportation relies on road freight operations. Forwarders operate trucking operations to handle domestic and international cargo transportation.
