Freight

In the field of transportation, the term freight transport or freight shipping is common, and here we will fully discuss the subject of transporting goods and its related methods:

What is freight?

Freight includes cargo shipping services to different countries by air, land or sea. These services are usually used for individuals or commercial companies who want to send their personal belongings, commercial goods, or household items from one country to another. Freight is one of the main options for international transportation for various goods due to its high speed and security.

What is Freight Transport?

Freight transport is the process of moving goods from a source (such as a factory, warehouse or port) to a destination (such as a store, customer or distribution center). This process is one of the main parts of the supply chain and plays a vital role in global trade and economy.

Freight methods:

Transportation and freight of goods are carried out in various ways, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. These methods include:

1. Road Freight:

• Trucks and vans: Used to move goods over short and medium distances. This method is flexible and cost-effective.
• Rail Transport: Suitable for transporting large volumes of goods over long distances. This method is usually less expensive than road transport and is used for heavy goods such as coal, minerals and industrial products.

2. Maritime Freight:

• Cargo ships: Used to transport bulky and heavy goods over very long distances (internationally). This method is economical but time-consuming.
• Containers: Goods are packed in standard containers and are easily moved between ships, trains and trucks.

3. Air Freight:

Cargo planes: Used to transport valuable or perishable goods (such as fresh food, medicine, and electronic components). This is the fastest but most expensive method of transportation.

4. Pipeline Transport:

Used to transport liquids and gases (such as oil, natural gas, and water). This method is safe and inexpensive, but is only applicable to certain materials.

Freight and transportation stages of goods:

1.Order receipt: Receiving an order from the customer and determining the type of goods, volume and destination.

2.Packaging: Packaging the goods in a suitable way to prevent damage during transportation.

3.Selecting the method of transportation: Choosing the best method of transportation based on the type of goods, urgency and cost.

4.Loading: Transferring the goods to a vehicle (truck, ship, plane, etc.).

5.Clearance: Carrying out customs formalities in the case of international transportation.

6.Delivery to destination: Delivery of goods to the customer or distribution center.

Factors affecting the selection of the freight method:

1.Type of goods: Perishable, dangerous or bulky goods require special methods.

2.Distance: For short distances, road transport is usually chosen, and for long distances, sea or air transport is chosen.

3.Cost: Sea and rail transport are usually cheaper than air transport.

4.Time: If the time of delivery of the goods is important, air transport is the best option.

5.Security: Some goods require safer transportation methods.
