The Sultanate of Zanzibar has become the maritime carriage driver of the Western Indian Ocean, mainly thanks to the emerging commodity supply market of the Kingdom of East Africa. Moreover, during immigration, the East African migrants would also rent ships from the Sultanate of Zanzibar, mainly for female immigrants targeting regions in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia. As for German and Far East immigrants, Heixinggen Ocean Trade Company handles them, occasionally hiring Dutch ships when lacking in transport capacity.
The Sultanate of Zanzibar originally rose to prominence through the slave trade, so it has considerable experience in transporting people. As long as the regions share the same faith, they become sources of goods, such as parts of India, Dutch East Indies, Central Asia, North Africa, and the Ottoman Empire, where Arab merchants are present.
