Transportation
 Transportation is the physical movement of goods and
people between two points.
 Each of the modes of transportation exists because of
certain attributes that provide one or more advantages over
the other modes of transportation.
 The attractiveness of a particular mode depends on the
following attributes: cost, speed, reliability, capability,
capacity, and flexibility.

Transportation Modes
 Airfreight
 Pipeline
 Ropeway
 Motor Carrier
 Ocean Transportation
 Railroad

Airfreight
 Air is generally the fastest mode of transportation for
shipments exceeding 600 miles.
 Air Cargo comprises a large number of daily flights in
the United States and are operated by private parcel
companies such as FedEx and UPS.

Air Freight Capabilities
 Wearing apparel
 Electronics
 Printed matter
 Machinery and parts
 Cut flowers and nursery stock
 Auto parts and accessories
 Fruits and vegetables
 Metal products
 Photographic equipment
 Live product
 Emergency product

Role of IATA
 The majority of airlines operating scheduled cargo
services are members of International Air Transport
Association (IATA).
 IATA is best known as the medium through which
airlines fix a common tariff.
 The cargo service conference and the cargo agency
conference are two decision making committees of
IATA.

IATA
Cargo Service Conference Cargo Agency Conference
 Perform standard operation
 Air way bills
 Inter change of pallet
 Agreements
 It is responsible for
appointing cargo agents.
 Ensuring that standard are
maintained.
 Through cargo investigation
panels .
 Cargo registration and review
board.

Air cargo tariff structure
 As far as the domestic tariffs are concerned ,these
are based on the capacity available market demand
operational economic ,they are generally approved
by government.
 The rating in international tariff exhibits a number
of complexities.
 There are different pricing concepts within the tariff
structure and any rationalization new concept
changing in rates etc are normally negotiated
through IATA machinery.

IATA rate structure

Airfreight Advantages
 Make up lost time
 Perishable products
 Urgent deliveries
 No physical barrier
 Easy access
 Natural route
 National defense
 No infrastructure investment
 High speed

Airfreight Disadvantages
 Expensive
 Line-haul cost of airfreight service
 Transportation cost
 Transit time
 Increasing handling costs
 Increasing loss and damage
 Belly freight
 Small carrying capacity
 Risky
 Unreliable
 Huge investment

Pipelines
 One of the advancements humans have made in recent
history is the ability to transport liquids and gases via
the use of pipelines.
 Pipelines decrease both the amount of time and labor
it would take to displace a liquid or gas from one
destination to another.

Basic Facts
 Roughly 200,000 miles of liquid pipeline in the United
States.
 Size from 3 to 48 inch, Lengths 1 to 2000 miles.
 Constructed mainly of carbon steel
 India has about 20,000 km of major crude oil and
product pipelines.

What Pipelines Move
 Crude Oil as raw materials (onshore and offshore)
 Intermediates/ Chemicals from one location to
another in manufacturing
 CO2 for Enhanced Oil Recovery
 Finished products- gasoline, diesel, jut fuel, etc.

Advantage of pipelines
 Total cost is very low energy consume.
 The maintenance and operating cost is very low.
 It can traverse difficult terrain.
 Transit losses are also minimal .
 Its operation is round the clock .
 It provide reliable continuous all weather means of
transport.

Disadvantages of pipelines
 Initial cost is high.
 The most obvious disadvantage lies in the fact that this
means cannot be used for transportation of all solidus
heavy equipment.

ROPEWAY

Ropeway

ROPEWAY
 Ropeway is al lifting equipment which are for crossing
one end to another end at the river hills, major,
construction sides.
 Now a day most of the cities which are in hills or at the
height using ropeway as a transport medium

Basic model of ropeway

Ropeway in INDIA
 Dhuandhaar is the famous waterfalls located at the
marble city of Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh.

Rope way in INDIA
 Srisailam ropeway
 Manali ropeway
 Raigada ropeway
 Dargling ropeway
 Rajgir ropeway
 Gangtok ropeway

Advantage of ropeway
 It is efficient way in hills crossing one end to another
end.
 It is pollution free.
 It is solve traffic problem in critical places.
 It is very good source in urban transport.

Disadvantage of ropeway
 Heavy initial investment
 Limitation as the size and quantity of haul.
 Limited load carry .
