I figure they'd haul most of their shipments around by airship. After all, why expose your shipping and supply lines to the enemy when you have the means to avoid doing so?
Assuming that Imperial airships are used for trade, some goods may be too heavy to transport by air so they must use ships.
Then again, they had those little winged chimney things haul Ultima Weapon around so who knows?
