Freight Shipping in Canada
The original mode of freight shipping is known as ground shipments.
The term “land” shipping is also used to refer to “train” or “truck”
shipping. In addition to standing on its own, ground shipments may
also be necessary when transporting cargo by air or sea. Often,
shipments are moved from cargo to air or sea ports. In this case, it is
necessary to determine the destination of the shipment as well as
the production resources located near the ports.
“Door-to-door shipment”, which is more officially known as a
multimodal mode of transport, is defined as the process by which
goods are transported directly from the shipper’s place to their
destination via land. This form of shipping allows trucks and trains to
make shipments and deliveries in bulk.
Many shipments are transported by ships. The fleet and crew are
called the “merchant navy” or the “merchant marine.” This
method is known as the “life blood” of the world economy, as it is
the way in which 90% of international trade is carried out.
