The railway provides a high level of safety. You can carry out the transportation of a large consignment. But there is a drawback – a low speed.
You can quickly deliver the goods by road, but it does not allow transporting large volumes. Road transport is used when you need to deliver a small batch at a short distance.
Air transport can deliver cargo even faster than a car. At cost, it is the most expensive. It is chosen when delivery is needed over long distances and between continents. There are volume restrictions.
Sea transport will also provide transport between continents, but this is the longest delivery method. But sea vessels are capable of accommodating large consignments of cargo.
