JIANGSU BESTLINECN MODERN LOGISTICS CO., LTD. analyzes the difference between international shipping and air transportation.
International shipping is the most important mode of transport in international trade, more than two-thirds of the total volume of international trade, the vast majority of China's import and export goods, are transported by sea transport. Compared to air transport, ships are able to carry very heavy loads at very little cost. It is the preferred mode of transport for large items transported in bulk.
Advantages of shipping include: more space and weight: Cargo ships vary in length and can carry thousands of tons of weight.
Cost less than air freight: Due to lower fuel costs, sea freight is usually more economical than air freight. Cargo ships operate on a set schedule, so there are fewer opportunities for costly shipping delays.
Disadvantages: Slow aging. While ships are capable of carrying greater loads than other modes of transport, sea transport takes longer. For businesses that rely on fast delivery, this is often not the preferred mode of transportation.
International air transport allows for fast delivery: Despite the occasional flight delay, in most cases air transport is much faster than ship, truck or plane delivery.
Provides enhanced safety: The aircraft provides this speed with little impact on product quality, providing optimal protection and safe handling due to strict flight checkpoints and minimal interference during flight.
However, there are some disadvantages to consider about air transport: Cost: Air transport is more expensive than truck transport.
Restrictions: Due to the nature of air transportation, some companies may find it difficult to navigate certain restrictions, including size, weight, and product restrictions.
