2. Do you know how to talk about issues on shipment?
Let’s talk about issues on shipment
Role play the conversation in Section One, one plays the role of Mr. Smith and the other plays the role of Yangshan.
Rail transport can be divided into international combined rail transport and domestic rail transport. The most important document for rail transport is consignment note. Once the forwarding railway station has accepted the goods for carriage together with the consignment note, the contract of carriage comes into existence.
operators are responsible for taking cargos? And Why? 9. What documents are required for international multimodal transport?
Section Two Text study
Transport allows goods to be conveyed from one place to another. Without transport, international trade would not be possible. The freight system includes several distinct forms of transportation, which is called the modes of transport. The major modes include sea, rail, air, road, inland waterway, container and multimodal transport.
1. Sea Transport (Ocean Transport) Ocean freight is the most widely used mode of transportation in
international trade, with advantages of easy passage, large capacity and low cost. However, it is slow, vulnerable to bad weather and less punctual if compared with road or air transport.
5. Inland waterway Transport The inland waterway system is usually linked to the seaport and
thereby acts as a distributor and feeder to the shipping services. In some countries, especially underdeveloped ones, inland waterway is a major form of distribution as the road and rail systems are unable to cope or are nonexistent in many areas. Inland waterway transport can relieve port congestion through overside loading and discharge. This eliminates the cargos passing through the port warehouse which can prove costly in tariffs and time-consuming processing. It also has the advantage of low rate, and suitable for a range of commodities extending from general cargoes to bulk shipment of timber, coal, oil, chemicals and so on. However, the transits are slow compared with road or rail. 6. Container Transport

2. Rail Transport Rail transport is a major mode of transport in terms of capacity,
only second to ocean transport. It is capable of achieving relatively high speed and is most economical especially if it provides the complete trainload for a shipper on a regular basis. Freight trains traditionally used box cars, requiring manual loading and unloading of the cargo. Since the 1960s, container trains have become the dominant solution for general freight, while large quantities of bulk are transported by dedicated trains. Besides, it is less prone to interruption by poor weather. But it is confined to railroads and therefore less flexible.

3. Air Transport Air transport is one of the youngest forms of distribution. The
most obvious advantage of air freight is quick transit. Quick, reliable transits eliminate need for extensive warehouse accommodation and reduce the risk of stockpiling, obsolescence, deterioration and capital tied up in warehouse and stock provision. Low risk of damage and pilferage with consequent competitive insurance premium is another advantage. Air freight is ideal for consumer-type cargoes such as fresh flowers and fruits which deteriorate easily, fashionable articles that have a short selling life, seasonal goods or merchandise of high value to low weight ratio. However, air transport is subject to a high operating cost and initial cost of aircraft when compared to overall capacity. Average aircraft capacity is only 2,000～25,000 KG.

4. Road Transport The road vehicle, used between countries connected by
roads, is a low capacity but very versatile unit of transport, very flexible in its operation. It has a high distributive ability of offering a door to door service. Road transport is ideal for general merchandise and selective bulk cargoes in small quantities. But besides limited capacity, road transport has relatively high operating cost. There is also a high risk of pilferage and damage although the driver accompanies the vehicle throughout the transit. One of the problems facing road transport is the complication, in relation to customs examination and possible duty payments when a vehicle is involved in crossing several frontiers.
