Every product requires its own method of effective packaging and transport. We bring to you the various types of cargo transportation services that are reliable and convenient for your business to run seamlessly.

Rail Cargo

Transportation is much more cost-effective and energy-efficient over long distances. Transportation of steel, wood and coal is usually done by trains.

It is capable of transporting a large number of containers in a short period of time with less risk involved. The only limitation faced by businesses using rail cargo is that it lacks flexibility.

Air Cargo

It is the most crucial mode of transport. It benefits businesses that necessitate in time inventory refills. Perishable products like foodstuff, flowers and pharmaceuticals take advantage of such faster means of transportation. Airfreight provides industries with vast flexibility and a reduction in inventory cost. It also promotes less maintenance of cargo, damage and mugging. 

Airfreight suffers drawbacks of weight limitation; the volume of goods transported using this service is less as it is expensive due to the amount of fuel used.

Road Cargo

It is the most commonly used mode of transport by businesses across the world. It offers businesses uniform movement of goods, cost-effectiveness, flexible services, long/short deliveries, track and trace of cargo and complete door to door services.

Although this has been one of the economical transportation methods, it still has its own restrictions. It is limited by the size of the vehicle, weight restrictions and is affected by weather, traffic and road conditions.

Ocean Cargo

It is one of the most accepted and widely used for huge container transportation. It has the ability to carry goods through wide-ranging waterways. It is impossible to transport cargo through rails and roads due to large sizes and volumes of the goods. This is when Ocean cargo plays an important role. Ocean cargo is more environmentally friendly and has a very low shipping cost. 

Its disadvantages are that ocean transportation can be hindered because of the change in climatic conditions. Also, the speed is not as prompt as trains or aeroplanes.
