In an increasingly interconnected world, transport logistics has become a key factor in the success of many companies. Choosing the appropriate transportation method can make a significant difference to the efficiency of your supply chain.
At Axis Shipping, we understand this and work to ensure that your cargo reaches its desired destination efficiently and safely. To help you make more informed decisions, we have distinguished below the three of the most common modes of transport: sea, air and road.
Maritime Transport
Shipping by sea is a popular choice for companies looking for a cost-effective option for transporting large volumes of goods. Thanks to its high load capacity and low cost compared to other methods, it is ideal for transporting non-perishable goods that do not require a fast delivery time.
Please remember: shipping can be slower and subject to delays due to factors such as weather conditions.
Air Transport
If speed is a priority for your company, air transport is an excellent option. This method is ideal for sending perishable, high-value goods or goods that need to reach their destination as quickly as possible.
However, costs can be higher than other methods, and carrying capacity is generally lower.
It is an ideal choice for situations where time is more important than cost.
Road Transport
Road transport is the backbone of the transport logistics system, providing flexibility that other methods cannot match. This method is often used to deliver goods from ports or airports to the final destination.
It offers the advantage of being able to deliver directly to the desired location, making it ideal for small to medium sized loads.

The choice between these transportation methods should not only be based on costs, but also on other factors: transit time, reliability, regulatory requirements and the nature of the goods to be transported.
At Axis Shipping, we are committed to helping you choose the transportation method that best suits your needs. We work with a global network of partners to ensure that your cargo reaches its destination efficiently and safely.
