Land transportation
If you have a large, heavy product with a short route that is not worth transporting by air and the long duration of the sea method, the best and most common method of transportation for you is road transportation, which is both economical and fast and efficient for goods that are highly vulnerable and sensitive.
The advantages of road transportation include low and affordable costs, simplicity of packaging and its low cost, the possibility of using an extensive road network, and the possibility of DOOR TO DOOR delivery from the customer’s desired origin to the desired destination, which reduces the cost of loading, warehousing, and unloading.
Safe delivery and reduced risk of cargo damage, and the ability to plan and track the shipment and track the location of the goods are other advantages of this method.
However, this method is not suitable for long routes and increases the risk of damage to the goods, delays, and vehicle breakdown. Spending a lot of time for long distances, road accidents, and unfavorable weather conditions are among the disadvantages of this method.
Each method of transportation has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on the type of goods and the facilities and conditions of the owner of the goods for transporting, exporting or importing goods. The transportation design is carried out by the company’s commercial team and the best option for transporting the goods is selected.

Air transport
If you are looking for the least time, safety and fastest route to transport your goods, air transport is the best option for you, which is usually used for small, low-volume and valuable goods.
Among the things that affect the calculation of cargo shipping costs are:
The air distance between the country of origin and destination, which some countries may take a longer route than the land route due to the lack of a direct route, which involves a high cost.
Different tax tariffs are among other things that are different, whether by government agencies or service providers.
The type of goods, especially if they are sensitive to impact, increases the shipping rate.
One of the most important and influential factors is the weight and dimensions of your goods, which undoubtedly means that the larger the weight and dimensions, the higher the shipping cost.

Rail transportation
Rail transport is used under specific conditions, especially for heavy, large, and high-volume goods.
Rail transportation is more reliable compared to other methods. The probability of accidents and breakdowns on the railway is much lower than other methods, and it is also more reliable and resistant to weather conditions. Rail transportation is an economical, cheap and fast way to transport large and heavy goods over long distances. The capacity of railway transportation is very high, which can be increased with more wagons. Different wagons are selected to transport different goods. To transport various perishable materials such as vegetables, dairy products, meat, refrigerated wagons are used, which have a professional cooling system and the temperature of the refrigerator is automatically controlled and adjusted during the journey. Flat wagons are used to transport machinery and heavy goods that are long or goods such as iron parts or beams. Goods that are sensitive and vulnerable to moisture, oxygen and sunlight are transported in covered wagons, which are closed and sealed after the goods are placed inside, and the goods are fully protected. These wagons are two-axle or four-axle. Tank wagons are used to transport fuel and liquids. Short-sided wagons are used to transport construction materials and iron and steel, and long-sided wagons are used to transport industrial goods and minerals. These wagons are suitable for heavy loads and cargo weighing up to several tons.
Combined or multimodal transport
Combined or multimodal transport is the transit or transportation of goods using a combination of at least two different modes of transport, including ship, train, plane and truck, under a single contract.
In situations where the owner of the goods wants to deliver the cargo from the origin of production in any city and pick it up at the desired destination, the combined transport method is used.
For example, the cargo is picked up from the door of the origin factory and transported to the main ports and then transported by sea to the desired destination.
When a transport company starts the transfer process from the door of the origin warehouse to the door of the destination warehouse, it makes communication and tracking easier for the owner of the goods and transfers more responsibility to the transport company, which will provide greater peace of mind to the owner of the goods, spend less time and ultimately increase productivity.
Benefits of multimodal transportation:
Proportional use of transportation capacities in different methods
Reducing the cost of imported goods
Reducing time and transfer points, reducing export and import costs, and reducing documents and administrative procedures
Faster transfer of goods from transit points and saving costs
