1. AIR
1.1. AIRPLANE
1.1.1. Speed: it is the fastest mode of transport that exists and, therefore, it is especially recommended when time is an important factor.
1.1.2. There are no physical barriers: thanks to this it is possible to make a trip without interruption choosing the shortest and most direct route through seas, mountains.
1.1.3. Easy access: air transport can transport goods to areas that are not easily accessible by other means of transport.
1.1.4. Suitable for transporting perishable or high-value goods over long distances.
2. MARITME
2.1. CARGO SHIP
2.1.1. Volume and storage capacity of containers: ships or boats are the means of transport that offer greater capacity when it comes to moving more materials. Especially when compared to other modes of transportation, such as the train, truck, or plane.
2.1.2. More competitive cargo: ocean cargo is generally very competitive and cheap. The only difficulty you may notice regarding this reason are the additional charges. Even with this little note, we see that it is still the cheapest way to travel long distances.
2.1.3. Security and stability: the weather and climatic conditions delay the departure or arrival of an aircraft on more occasions, while thanks to the robustness, resistance and frequency of the protocols, they can cope more easily in more complicated or unstable environments (always within logically reasonable limits))
2.1.4. Greater variety of transportable products and materials: considered one of the most notable elements that we can see as a difference from what happens in air transport (where in most cases liquid or dangerous cargo is not allowed), maritime transport It is the only available form of transportation. A good serial port for specific requests for specific materials (oil, oils ...).
2.1.5. Coverage and insurance: Thanks to the fact that almost ¾ parts of the earth is covered with water, the reach level of this medium is almost absolute. It is also worth noting the fact that it is a very safe medium as almost all delivery practice is carried out in a timely manner.
3. ROAD
3.1. TRUCK
3.1.1. Cheap. It is the cheapest type of cargo transport, since its costs are lower than those of other means of transport, such as ships, planes and even trains. This is because no additional infrastructure is needed to carry out the transport, but only the vehicle itself is required, so this translates into cheaper costs and, therefore, a greater economic discount for the client.
3.1.2. Merchandise security. It allows the transfer of materials of all kinds, even those most dangerous goods. From hydrocarbons to heavy vehicles, through food products, construction materials and, in short, any type of stock. It represents an extremely crucial advantage, and that is that other means of transport, such as air transport, do not have this capacity, since they cannot transport very heavy elements, for example.
3.1.3. Versatile. Road transport is a transport that allows very easy access to the facilities or to the recipient. Therefore, it is much more comfortable and allows for safer delivery. We continue with the advantages and disadvantages of ground transportation.
4. RAIL WAY
4.1. TRAIN
4.1.1. Large capacity: allows the transport of large quantities of goods over long distances.
4.1.2. The costs of the operation are generally quite low.
4.1.3. Flexibility: it is possible to transport varieties of merchandise.
4.1.4. Low accident rate.
4.1.5. Low polluting.
4.1.6. Compared to road transport, it avoids the problems of traffic congestion.
4.1.7. Possibility of information with other transport methods.
