For any business we must take into account the transport of our product, such as
choosing a correct mode of transport that means finding a balance between time
and costs. Therefore, choosing the best way to transport our products is important
to consider the following:

1. The budget should be the most important factor in decision making.

2. The speed of transport is also important, ensuring that the mode of transport
chosen is reliable for customers and that they do not feel deprecated.

3. If dangerous products are transported, there are some guidelines that must be
followed.

4. If your products are expensive or if they are being shipped by sea, insurance
may be considered.

5. On the road transport is cheaper and convenient and also one of the most
flexible modes of transport but it is not as ecological as other methods and if you
are not lucky you may be subject to long delays, which is frustrating if you are
working for a Tight work

To plan to transport the products by road it is important to take into account the
restrictions of height, weight and length:

1. At this time a truck more than 16.5 m (54 feet) long, 2.55 m (8.4 ") wide and 44
tons including fuel and truck.

2. If products are transported outside the United Kingdom and the Republic of
Ireland, you should familiarize yourself with the CMR note, which applies to all
international road transport contracts.

3. The easiest way to ship the products is to buy a rail transport package through a
freight operator (FOC), a terminal operator or a third-party logistics company.

4. Air cargo is undoubtedly the fastest way to transport the product over a long
distance, but it is expensive and not very ecological. Air cargo is transported by
cargo airlines only, as well as by scheduled passenger planes, as with excess
baggage at passenger airlines, air freight is generally charged per kilogram.

5. Maritime cargo ships are composed of the following: Container ships: They
transport 20 or 40 containers that they can hire.

Cargo ships: They transport loose cargo bulk carriers, transport unpacked goods,
generally grains, coal, etc.

Tanker: Transport liquids Roll-on Roll-of

Unloading vessels (ro-ros): Transport of transport vehicles and passengers.
