Sea.
Mode
of transport is a
term used to distinguish substantially different ways to perform transport. The most dominant
modes of transport are air, land and ship transport. Other modes also exist, including pipelines, cable transport, and space transport. Then, sea, air, and land are the most
popular and getting wide because of the customer demands over the world.
The most popular mode is sea
transportation which is the largest carrier and freight by vessel, such as,
bulk carrier, tanker, and container vessel and also passenger’s cruiser. There
is because every generation vessel will be upgrade and also getting bigger in
order to full fill customer demands. Nowadays, for the merchant vessel, the largest
vessel is Triple E that can carried 18,000 TEU per voyage. Nowadays, the
cruiser or passenger carrier demand getting decrease because of the aviation or
air transportation can travel faster than cruiser.
The advantages by using this
sea transportation in logistic:
· Low Cost:
Cheaper than road transport depending on cargo and route.
·
Fuel Efficient:
In general, shipping uses up to six times less fuel
than road transport and around half the amount needed for rail operations.
·
Low Carbon
Emissions:
In terms of grams of CO2 emitted per
ton-kilometer, coastal shipping emits just 16g, barge transport around 31g,
rail 22g and road 62g.
·
Safer:
Shipping
operates away from people and is 90 times safer than road transport and five times safer than rail.
2. Air
Air transportation is luxury and urgent cargo which is needed
to arrive for a short time period and it air freight is high than the other
transport rates. It is difficult to accomplish any international trading,
global export or import processes, international repositioning of raw materials
or products and manufacturing without a professional logistical support. It is
involves the integration of information, transportation, inventory,
warehousing, material handling, and packaging.
Advantages using Air type
of information in logistics:
·
No Physical Barrier:
Air transport is free from physical barriers because it follows
the shortest and direct routes where seas, mountains and forests do not
obstruct.
·
High Speed:
Air transport is the fastest mode of transport and therefore
suitable carriage of goods over a long distance requiring less time. There is
no substitute for air transport when the transport of goods is required
urgently.
·
Quick Service:
Air transport provides comfortable, efficient and quick
transport service. It is regarded as best mode of transport for transporting
perishable goods.
3. Land.
Land transportation is
the 3rd importance after the air transportation which is cheaper
than air transportation. There is because this land transportation not use many
fuel consumption than air and sea transportation. This transportation also the
safe transportation, but the cargo maybe not arrived or delayed at the final
destination because of traffic jammed,
involve in traffic accident and etc.
Advantages
using Land type of information in logistics:
·
Flexible:
Road transport is highly flexible, this is because the cars employed can stop any where to collect the goods. Another methods will require
movements of goods to the areas for them to be effective.
·
Cheap:
This mode of carry is considerably little as compared to
other types of transportation such as air. A new distance that can be included
using cars can cost less amount of money the fare or encouraging the car in case
it turned out a private car.
