What is a 'shipping fleet'?

A shipping fleet refers to a company's collection of ships used to transport goods across oceans. BYD plans to expand its own shipping fleet, which means it wants to control more of its vehicle transport directly. This can help them manage costs, ensure timely deliveries, and reduce reliance on third-party shipping companies globally.
