   The modesof transport describes the way goods are transported.  There are basically five different modes; * Rail * Road * Air * Water * Pipeline * Multimodal Modes of Transport
• 3.
  Rail  For heavyand large loads over long land journeys Advantages  Lowest overall cost per unit weight  Can be most effective when linked into multimodal system  Its inflexibility  Trains can only travel along specified  Railway is the safest form of transport  Disadvantages  Routes between fixed terminals They cannot stop at intermediary points  Rail transport cannot provide door to door service  Ineffective with small shipments
• 4.
  Road  The mostcommon mode of transport and it is used at least somewhere in almost all supply chains. Advantages  Main benefit: flexibility  Travel speed  Use extensive road networks  Large number of carriers working in the same areas  Easy to monitor location of goods  These become relatively expensive,so road transport is Disadvantages  For shorter distances  Vulnerable to congestion and traffic delays  Dependence on fuel price
• 5.
  Water  It isused for big volumes for international traffic Advantages  For heavy and bulky goods  For products with long lead times  Cheaper traffic means  Longer lead/delivery times and slow Disadvantages  Difficulty in monitoring exact location  Limited to appropriate ports  Transfers to ships take time
• 6.
  Air  Urgent, perishablegoods or high value are transported by air. Advantages  Speed of delivery  Transfers take time in the airport Disadvantages  It is a costly transport  Weight limits
• 7.
  Pipeline  The mainuses of pipelines are oil and gas together with the utilities of water and sewage. Advantages Disadvantages  Moving large quantities over long distances.  Cheapest way of moving liquids  Local networks can add flexibility  Being slow  Inflexible  Only carrying large volumes of certain types of fluid

  MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT Refers tojourneys that involve two or more different modes of transport.
• 9.
  Choice of Modes *Choice of mode depends on a variety of factors.The main ones are the nature of materials to move, the volume and distance.
