Choosing between road, sea and air

Some criteria to discuss when choosing a transport mode with your contact.

Import-exportPractical guide

The choice of transport mode depends on the route, the goods and scheduling constraints. Road, sea and air serve different needs and may be combined within one operation. Compare the complete journey rather than a single leg.

Consider the complete journey

Collection and delivery locations affect the available options. A main sea or air transport leg may require road transport before departure and after arrival.

Consider the freight

Weight, volume, packaging and product constraints guide the available options. Any restrictions must be flagged before requesting a solution or a rate.

Compare the conditions

Review the included services, charges to be confirmed, formalities and estimated schedule. Trans 4 lists road, sea and air transport among its activities: present your file to clarify the options to be assessed.
