transportation management is a one set of activity in a logistical area.
many advantages when we use rail transportation one of that is Capacity, Trains are capable of carrying larger number of passengers and greater volumes of goods that other means of transportation cannot handle
Ship transport is watercraft carrying people (passengers) or goods (cargo). Sea transport has been the largest carrier of freight throughout recorded history. Although the importance of sea travel for passengers has decreased due to aviation, it is effective for short trips and pleasure cruises. Transport by water is cheaper than transport by air, despite fluctuating exchange rates and CAF charges to account for such.
many benefits of containerization one of that is Door-to-Door (House-to-House)- The greatest benefits of Containerization are realized when the shipper uses the container to carry goods directly from his or her premises to his or her customer's location. Perhaps the only time the container will be opened while enroute is for Customers inspection. Reduced susceptibility to pilferage and theft, elimination of multiple handling of individual items of cargo and the least possible exposure to the elements are all attractive features of Door-to-Door service. In utilizing this type of service, the shipper accepts the additional responsibility' of ensuring that cargo is properly stowed and secured in the container, precluding damage to the cargo, container or transport vehicle
The movement of passengers and cargo by aircraft such as airplanes and helicopters. Air transportation has become the primary means of common-carrier traveling. Greatest efficiency and value are obtained when long distances are traveled, high-value payloads are moved, immediate needs must be met, or surface terrain prevents easy movement or significantly raises transport costs. Although the time and cost efficiencies obtained decrease as distance traveled is reduced, air transport is often worthwhile even for relatively short distances. Air transportation also provides a communication link, which is sometimes vital, between the different groups of people being served.
