Transport Types | iLogistics

Transport Types

The different modes of transport - road, maritime, and air - each offer unique advantages and applications. Road transport is exceptionally important for short to medium distances, while maritime and air transport play crucial roles in international trade.

Road Transport

Includes all vehicles moving on roads - trucks, tractors, light vehicles. Relatively fast and cost-effective, especially for short distances.

Advantages:

Flexibility and accessibility

Disadvantages:

Limitations due to road conditions and traffic

Maritime Transport

Ideal for large volumes and heavy cargo, including LCL shipments. Slower but economically viable for long distances.

Advantages:

Perfect for high weight capacity

Disadvantages:

Lower speed and weather dependency

Air Transport

When time is critical, air transport is the solution. The fastest delivery method available.

Advantages:

Speed and high security

Disadvantages:

High cost and weight/volume restrictions

Rail Transport

Reliable for heavy and bulky goods. More predictable transit times unaffected by road conditions.

Advantages:

Efficient for large quantities

Disadvantages:

Schedule dependence and rail network limitations
