Introduction to types of transportation:
Transportation depends on the type of cargo, distance, and mode of transportation. Transportation is carried out by three methods: sea, land, and air transportation.
Road transportation:
This service is available both privately and publicly, using various types of road transportation vehicles such as tarpaulin trucks for moving palletized and bulk cargoes to intermediate countries that have standard and equipped shock absorbers, liquid transport trucks, and isotankers for transporting hazardous and non-hazardous chemical products, as well as car transporters, low-bed trucks, and flatbeds for transporting heavy or large cargoes.
Maritime transportation services:
Maritime transportation is used for services that require sea transportation and is very important for exports and imports because this method has many advantages, such as fast transportation speed, high cargo capacity, and the ability to transport cargo to remote areas. Depending on the route and type of cargo, there are various methods of transporting cargo available.
Types of maritime transportation in terms of packaging:
Container: a large metal box in which cargo is placed with standard dimensions that is protected against natural disasters and theft.
Bulk: cargo that is stored in special compartments or warehouses; in fact, goods that have a large volume are stored in these compartments.
Barge or flat-top: this type of vessel has a flat and rectangular shape and is used for heavy cargo. These floating models are designed for transporting cargo to countries on the shores of the open sea.
Methods of maritime transportation in terms of route:
Sea cargo transportation is carried out directly and indirectly, with the indirect method abbreviated to transshipment, cross-stuffing, and combined transport.
Cross-stuffing: In this method, container cargoes are removed and placed in another container. This method is used when it is not possible to transport cargo directly to a country.
Transshipment: This method involves transferring containers from one ship to another without unloading them. Like cross-stuffing, this method is used when it is not possible to transport cargo directly to a country.
Combined transport: This method of transportation uses multiple modes of transportation to transport cargo and is one of the most suitable methods for transporting cargo from one country to another because it saves time and allows for unobstructed cargo transport.

Air transportation services:
These services are provided both domestically and internationally and are known for their speed and security. This method of transportation is carried out by airplanes, which allows transportation to take place even to the farthest corners of the world.
Factors affecting air transportation:
Distance of cargo transfer: The first factor is the distance of cargo transfer. The shorter the distance, the more secure and timely the delivery to the destination, resulting in greater customer satisfaction.
Type of aircraft used for cargo transfer: The role of the aircraft in cargo transfer is significant. If the aircraft is a full cargo plane, fewer stops are required, and the cargo will reach the destination faster, heavier, and with more load capacity. On the other hand, these planes have high safety and durability.
Types of aircraft used in air transportation:
Antonov 225: This aircraft is known as the largest cargo plane in the world, capable of carrying 250 cargoes. It is suitable for transporting external cargo on its body and heavy cargoes.
Boeing 747-8: Due to its four powerful engines and ability to take off with a load of 137 tons, this aircraft is one of the best cargo planes. Its body is designed to transport heavy and unusual cargoes.
