Comparison of sea freight with other modes

Criteria	Sea	Air	Multimodal (rail+sea)
Cost	Lowest for large volumes	Most expensive	Average
Speed	Slow (3–6 weeks)	Fast (days)	Faster than sea, slower than air
Reliability	High for standard cargo	High, but more expensive	Depends on the route
Optimum for	Large commercial shipments	Urgent or expensive cargo	When a balance of speed/price is needed

The choice depends on priorities: price, speed or reliability. Often the best solution is to combine sea transportation for the main volume and air transportation for urgent shipments.
