The transport network. Roads and trains.

1) The roads carry the largest volume of inland transport. The main reason for this is that road transport is a door-to-door service and goods can travel direct from factory to factory or from producer to consumer, often on a company’s own lorries. The company’s transport manager knows exactly when the goods he sends will arrive and that somebody will load them safely because this happens at his own factory.

2) Even if goods travel for other parts of their journey by rail, sea or air, lorries will still be necessary to and from the railway depots, the docks and airports, and to bring the goods in the end to the shops in the centers of towns. Road transport must therefore be part of any transport system. The disadvantage of road transport is that even the largest lorry can carry only about 10 tons while a train can take cargoes of over 1, 000 tons. For large cargoes, on journeys of 300 kilometers or more, trains are more economical than lorries.

Marine insurance

1) Marine insurance is the oldest form of insurance. Back in the Middle Ages, ships were the most important form of transport and their cargo was often very valuable. Sometimes traders would even risk their whole capital with just one shipment. So somebody came up with the idea of forming a group to spread the risk – and marine insurance appeared. Very generally marine insurance works as follows: the ship and cargo owners (the insured) each pay a percentage of the value of their goods (the premium) into a fund administered by the insurance company (the insurer). If one of the insured then suffers a loss, he can claim compensation from the insurer for the loss. This means he will receive money from the fund to the value of the loss he suffered.

2) Some of the risks against which it is possible to take out insurance include: natural disasters (fire, floods, earthquakes etc.); loss of the goods through being washed over board; damage to the goods, for example, by breaking, bending; damage to the goods by vermin such as rats and mice; loss of the ship which transports the goods, for example, by sinking or collision with another ship.

Distribution

1) When production of goods is completed they are brought to the consumer. This process is called distribution. Because commerce is an organized system, goods are produced in large quantities in one place by people who specialize. The consumer may be thousands of miles away, as, for example, when a person in Britain buys a Japanese television set. It is the function of transport to carry the products from the manufacturer to the consumer, and this may involve several journeys by road, rail, sea and air. You have only to look at the goods in a supermarket and at their many countries of origin to see that the world has become one large market.

2) Together with transport we must also think about communications. The telephone, the postal services and computers make commerce possible; without them traders would never be able to buy and sell goods in national and international markets. To get the goods to the consumer at the right time, in the right condition and in the right quality are the functions of warehousing and of the wholesale and retail organization of commerce.
