Guides on when each mode of transport really pays off, how long it takes and what drives its cost. No marketing - with numbers, sources and conclusions to apply in your next quote.
01 Sea freight is most cost-effective when cost matters more than transit time
FCL, LCL, OOG - which variant makes sense when, how long transport from China to Gdynia really takes, and why the cheapest freight does not mean the cheapest delivery.
02 Rail freight works where sea is too slow and air is not justified by cost
Around 20 days from China to Poland, the northern corridor and the space between sea and air - when rail wins and what drives its price.
03 Air freight is most cost-effective when delivery time matters more than cost
Less than 1% of volume, over 33% of world trade value. When the cost of one day of delay justifies air freight - and how it works from the Tri-City area.
04 Road transport plays two roles - a standalone European service and the closing leg of every sea, air or rail shipment
FTL up to 24 tonnes, LTL for smaller lots, pre-carriage and on-carriage in every intermodal shipment. The only mode that truly delivers door to door.
