In international logistics, fba transport can be divided into sea transport, air transport and land transport according to different means of transport, among which FBA sea transport has a higher usage rate. Although the speed of international air transport is faster than that of international sea transport, the cargo carrying capacity of cargo ships is very large. The cargo carrying capacity of one cargo ship is larger than that of 100 planes. Moreover, the cargo transportation cost should be taken into account when transporting goods. The following three types of goods are more suitable for FBA sea transportation.
The equipment with heavy cargo is suitable for FBA sea transportation. In FBA transportation billing, it is usually calculated by weight or volume. Although the speed of international air transportation is faster than that of FBA sea transportation, the cost of air transportation is often unacceptable for some large equipment with large weight and size. FBA sea freight will not have this problem, the carrying capacity of cargo ships is large and the price is much lower, so some relatively heavy goods in the process of logistics transportation FBA sea freight is more cost-effective.
Second, the bulk goods are suitable for FBA sea transport. In the process of international freight, in order to facilitate transport, many goods are usually packed in containers for transport. Due to the large volume of the container, it is not very convenient to air freight, so FBA sea transport is usually used as the mainstream mode of container transport for the bulk cargo in the international logistics.
3. Goods with low timeliness requirements are suitable for FBA sea transportation. At present, most e-commerce companies at home and abroad have their own warehouses, where the goods are prepared in advance, and the goods in transit may be prepared for the next month or even several months later, so most people are not so anxious about the transportation speed, so FBA sea transportation mode of these goods will undoubtedly have a higher cost performance.
The mode of transport of FBA by sea still needs to be determined according to the actual situation of the goods. For example, whether the goods are in a hurry to be used, the value of the goods, including the cost performance of choosing the mode of transport and so on all need to be taken into account.
