Question

Which mode of transport reduces transshipment losses and delays?

Answer 1

The pipeline transport helps in reducing the transhipment delays and losses.It requires minimal labor . Since it operates  deep inside the soil its is not effected by congestion on roads and weather hazard.It allows continuous flow of goods and reduces accidents that may be caused by tankers on roads ,trains on track and ships on waters. It can be constructed in areas where it is difficult to construct roads or railway lines and access water.

Answer 2

Hey there,

Following is the mode of transport that reduces trans-shipment losses and delays;

Pipeline is considered to the best mode of transshipment. The reason is that it is situated underground which means that it is not affected by any of the delays that might be caused on the roads and the railways for example traffic or labor delay. It is an automated structure and system that requires minimum labor to no labor and therefor human error is also limited in such cases. It can also be compared with water transport such as ships but the speed still remains a hurdle.

I hope the answer was helpful.

Thanks for asking.
