The means of transportation in international logistics are roughly divided into five types: air transportation, land transportation, railway transportation, sea-rail combined transportation, and sea transportation.
Below is an analysis of the five transportation vehicles in descending order of high transportation efficiency.
Air transportation: The timeliness is the greatest, but the transportation fee is relatively high, and the quality, condition and other characteristics of the goods are fully considered, and no proposal is made for this type of transportation.
Land transportation: For this kind of transportation, several international logistics companies have presented this international freight transportation service. This kind of transportation can reach several large cities and has a high coordination ability.
Railway transportation: The transportation fee is lower, but the time will be slower. Appropriate selection when the business volume is large. This kind of transportation has less restrictions on the transportation of goods, and the large cities that it has traveled along the road are relatively relatively more, so it and road transportation are all more convenient and flexible transportation tools.
Sea-rail combined transportation: It is the basis of railway freight transportation to enhance the diversity of freight transportation. The shipping cost is relatively lower, and it can be transported to a fixed seaport in another country according to the international sea, and then transported to the station according to the railway line. This method can deal with the restriction of the seaport on the freight transportation.
Sea transportation: This kind of transportation means has the least cost. Relatively, its transportation rate is the slowest among several types of transportation means, and this kind of transportation means is limited by the seaport.
