Pros and cons
It’s the most flexible and most used method for short distances, which can be by train or by truck. It’s typically more affordable than air, but more expensive than ocean transport, especially in developing countries, where inland infrastructure may not be efficient.
In air and sea shipments, ground transport is required to take the cargo from its place of origin to the airport or seaport and then to its final destination.
Shipment of cargo by trucks, directly from the shipper’s place to the destination, is known as a “door to door” shipment and more formally as multimodal transport.
Trucks and trains make deliveries to sea ports and airports where cargo is moved in bulk. This type of transport is ideal, for the short and medium distances, and, compared to the other types of transport, it offers a “door to door” service. However, ground transport can also be the most difficult and expensive system if the recipient of the goods resides in a faraway place. Basically, it’s advisable for short journeys, but it’s highly inadvisable to transport a product thousands of kilometers away.
Another negative aspect of ground transport concerns pollution: the need to respect ever more the parameters for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as also agreed by G8 representatives, is slowing down the use of road transport. G8 also endorsed an emission reduction target of −50% by 2050.
Is price your main concern?
Ocean shipping is the slowest method of transport, but if time is not a decisive factor for you, then transporting by boat is your best option. And, of course, some products simply can’t go by air due to their size or weight, or to the fact that they are not allowed on board an aircraft.
We offer you:
- Partial container.
- Full container.
- Ship charter.
- Bulk cargo.
When time is crucial for your cargo, our air freight services are the best choice as we offer daily departures around the world. So, regardless of whether you’re shipping perishable products or any product that needs to be delivered quickly and on time, we have a solution for you.
No matter the size, type, and frequency of your cargo, we have a service that adapts to your needs.
Our air freight services include:
- Partial charter.
- Consolidation.
- Consecutive.
- Full charter.
Reliable air cargo carriers
To ensure that your air cargo arrives safely, on time, and within your budget, we use a variety of reliable air carriers, with experience and ability to handle your shipments.
When sea is too slow and air is too expensive, use a combination of both.
RR International‘s intermodal freight services combine the time-saving benefits of air freight with the low costs of ocean freight. We make the most of the sky and sea to deliver your products in the most efficient and cost-effective way.
There are two options of intermodal services to choose from: both reduce transit times by 50%, compared to shipping by boat:
Sea-Air
This service begins the journey by sea and is completed by air.
Air-Sea
This service begins the journey by air and completes it by sea. It is ideal for reaching remote coastal areas.
An efficient combination of multiple modes of transport also increases environmental sustainability and reduces transport carbon footprint.
