Topic: Comparing Transport Modes
Task 1. Two employees of a forwarding company are comparing transport modes for a shipment from western China to Shanghai. Read the dialogue and complete the table below the text.
Hao: Well, basically we have three shipping options: we can use inland waterways, road, or rail.
Ying: Right. Let’s start with the river barge. How long would it take to ship the consignment by barge?
Hao: Normally about six days, but it often takes longer if the weather’s bad.
Ying: And what about cost and flexibility?
Hao: It’s cheap - it’s actually the cheapest of all the transport options. It’s not very flexible though, mainly because there are only infrequent sailings. There are barges to Shanghai twice a week.
Ying: OK, let’s look at road transport. It would only take four days to ship by truck, but the cost would be about 50% higher than by barge.
Hao: Yes, but wouldn’t it be much easier?
Ying: That’s true. Let’s see how this compares with rail. Rail would definitely be faster than the truck option if we use the express service - that takes three days.
Hao: But it would also be more expensive than shipping by road - transport costs are about 40% higher. And the system isn’t very flexible. Sometimes it is only possible to book space on the express train a few weeks in advance. And then perhaps we’d have to use the standard train, which is much slower.
Ying: So, I think we need to check with our customer first and find out what’s most important to them.
