Transportation of logistic

Transportation

The transportation is the movement of materials and products. Logistics involves the movement and transport of materials and products, as well as their storage and packaging. This includes shipment of raw materials to the manufacturer and movement of finished product to the customer. Transportation also includes the movement of parts to assembly areas as they are assembled. Modes of transport include air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline and space. The field can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles and operations. Transport is important because it enables trade between people, which is essential for the development of civilizations.

First, about air transportation has been the single most significant development in logistics century of this century.example such as MAS Cargo,Air Asia and so on that have come in a wide variety of designs.what we call air cargo is carried in a few ways,not always by air such as firstly is plane belly space that the space in the belly of a passenger plane,normally used for luggage compartments.Cargo is not accompanied by the sender,more handlers,different and more documentation.secondly is flexibility of plane are basically passenger plane,but the interior can be adjusted to include more or less space for cargo and also passengers.Thirdly is freighter plane used just for cargo.Often a passenger plane toward the end of its useful life is converted into a freighter.Freighter also plane built just for that purpose normally would not include windows,since there is no need for windows along the body of the plane.Lastly is truck that many people do not realize is that a lot of air cargo actually is goes by truck.Major airlines has been replacing their larger plane with smaller planes for shorter flights.This reduces cargo space available,and thus means air cargo companies need to find a quick alternative.

Besides that,plane also have advantages to the exporter that make air transportation have different with other transportation.For advantages is the movement of the goods is very fast than other transportation.plane also can make warehousing cost are reduced to the minimum.It also suitable for the transportation of the perishable goods.The risks associated with with deterioration and obsolescence of the goods are reduced.The insurance premium in the case of air transport is lower as compared to the sea transport in view of the level of risk.The losses due to rough handling,breakage and pilferage are also reduced to the minimum. Example for air transportation:

Seconds, about water transport is movement by means of a water craft . Such as shipping companies is Maersk Sealand(Denmark), Evergreen(Taiwan), Hanjin(Korea),K Line(Japan), and Yangming(Taiwan). Besides that, type of ships is containerized, bulk carrier, bulk tankers, bulk roll-on, refrigerated ships and barges. For advantages of  water transportation is will be reduce cost and can carry many container.  Faster and more reliable delivery greater protection of fragile and easily contaminated cargoes, ensures original quality of goods reduces theft, enables physical separation of dirty cargoes, simplification of documentary procedures, and reduction in the cost of cargo handling and the time ships are in port.

The disadvantages is movement very slow. Have delay delivery and will be damages for non-  durable goods. Example for water transportation :

                   

Third is about road transportation. Road is movement on the ground to deliver goods and suitable to be shipped to retailers or wholesalers. A road is an identifiable route, way or path between two or more places. Road transportation is the most available and accessible of the modes because motor vehicles are not restricted by terminal to terminal operation but can provide service from the shipper’s loading point to the receiver’s dock. Road transport is used mostly for short hauls of high value manufactured goods, because road transport have higher operating costs and less capacity than trains. Every transportation mode is influenced by regulations. Road transport is more influenced by local rules, such as speed limits, registration and so on. Other modes such as shipping do not use local roads are not so concerned about local rules. This means that the longer trip, the more legal jurisdictions it passes through. This creates a strong disincentive for long distance  for road transportation. Advantages of using road transportation is provides door to door service. Truck moves on metalled roads, construction of which is cheap, easy, and quick. Example for roadways transportation :

At last is for conclusion that we know the three mode of transport have advantages and disadvantages in terms of lower cost and price stability, in terms of intensive care goods and not damage the items when going through the process of shipping logistics. in addition, in the short term as well be an important aspect for achieving customer demand
