TRANSPORT
Transport is the movement of people or goods from one place to another one, it is an essential step in sales transaction because it enables the transport of goods from producer to consumer. Great importance is assumed by the industries which manufacture the means of transport or transport services that are called transport industries.
TYPES AND CHOICE OF TRANSPORT
There are three main means of transport: land, water and air. Each has different characteristics. For the choice of a means of transport, many factors must be considered: the size, the weight, the quality, the urgency, the cost and the distance to be done. There are also other factors: the packaging, insurance costs that change according to the type of transport. Large companies deliver the goods with its resources and services.
CHANGES RELATED TO THE TRANSPORT
In the last 30 years there have been changes in the transport of goods.
The introduction of standard packages: the containers. This allowed an easier to transport with trains, ships and airplanes, because the container can be transferred easily from one mode of transport to another.
The birth of logistics companies in the world, reducing transportation costs and time, and inventories of raw materials and finished products. This reduces waste and the amount of capital used.
The means of transport used in Europe land transport, but it causes traffic congestion, and increased smog.
TRANSPORT BY LAND
Road transport is the most common form of land transport, it is flexible because it offers door to door services, and it is usually cheaper thanks to new technologies such as browsers and mobile phones.
Forms of transport on the ground are the pipelines and railways.
• Pipelines are conduits used for the transport of oil, gas and also some solids, but they are very expensive to build;
• Railways are useful for moving goods over long distances mainly used for the transportation of nuclear waste;
TRANSPORT BY AIR
Air transport is very fast, good for urgent and non-durable goods.
the cost of transport may seem expensive, but in reality it can be competitive when you consider that it saves a lot of time and fewer expensive in relation to cost of packing and insurance. air transport has so many benefits:
• Fast delivery for perishable goods and sensitive.
• A higher level of security that reduces the risk of theft and damage.
• There is less packaging resulting in a saving on packaging and labor costs and lower Insurance costs because the goods arrive in less time.
TRANSPORT BY WATER
Transport by water is a form of transport nowadays widespread to transport durable goods and often dangerous by long distance.
The main types of transport for water are:
• Inland waterways, such as canals and rivers, it isn’t used very much nowadays, and superseded by ground transportation for its speed;
• Transport by sea, the most important form of international transport despite its slow compared to air transport, it can carry non-perishable goods, chemicals and minerals such as bauxite, coal, iron and cereals.
PACKAGING
Since 1960 containerization has revolutionized the transport water.
Containers are casings of 20 or 40 feet, easily manageable and portable which can transport goods safely without manipulations damage, breakage and theft and they are cheap, the use of container has also revolutionized the supply chain from supplier to customer, and the various forms of transport, air transport, railways and roads have transformed a container a intermodal transport units.
