Thus, it is not unusual to see that almost every export operation uses this latter mode of transportation at some point of the route of delivery. River transport is also used in the absence of the other three modes, although it can be more costly.

Then, in order to define the best transport alternative, an exporter has to consider the available options of connectivity since it will determine which mode to use. Secondly, he/she will have to analyze the product and the transport requirements in order to secure its safe and on time arrival, according to the deadlines established in the export contract. Thirdly, he/she will have to evaluate if the product can support the cost of transport and still be profitable

Finally, it is possible to state that the selection of the transport mode is a big and important step in order to grant the success of the operation. Therefore, a decision of the transport mode cannot be taken lightly, because it could undermine the expected rate of return of the whole operation and also it may risk damaging your own image before your partner or client in the other country. Hence, time for proper research is needed...once more.
