WATER WAYS

In Logistic terms water carrier can be defined as a party who used water way to delivered the shipment by using shipping company. Using this mode of transportation give many benefit towards firm which trusted will give profitable to that firm.  so we will list down the benefits from using this modes.


THE ADVANTAGE USING WATER CARRIER

1) Bulk-movement

Compared than other modes this mode surely will leading other modes to send the goods with more quantity of shipment. Usually, the ship that used to send delivered is a very large ship for example there are containerized ship and bulk carrier that used to sends the large number of shipments. If we compared with second ranking in capability to sends the freight in bulk which is rail, water modes are defeated rail mode in capability to move the shipment with a large scale

2)  Cost saving

A payment that charged by water carrier is cheaper than other modes (rail,highway,air). This surely we can compare with air carrier . Both of this can send in many quantities but the cost very big different . For example we compared Mas Kargo (air carrier) and MAERSK (water carrier) which water carrier offer the most lower rate for sending a shipment.

3) Avoid from traffic and congestion

There is no policeman make a roadblock or suddenly had an accident on water that will effect congestion. So using this mode surely will also avoid from delay so the shipment will arrived at the right time. In U.S.A and some country in Europe already declared that water carrier is very important eventhough, for short distance they used water as a main ways to delivered goods.

4) Environmental Friendly

Recent days, our environment having a very bad situation. In our country Malaysia we are having a critical haze it affect by open-burning but is also affect by road transportation such as car,truck,motor,van and so on.  So if we are using water transportation it was environmental friendly which it will not give negative effects towards our ocean.
