ships are the standard design, with large holds that carry any type of cargo.Most of these are loaded by crane, although some have side doors that allow vehicles to drive on and off. Many ports around the world do not have facilities to handle the more specialized
ships mentioned below, so these general-purpose vessels are very widely used.

2- Tankers
3- Container ships a
4- General cargo

Answer 26

4-General cargo

Question 27

Examples of such combination ships are the RORO/container ships that carry vehicles imported into the USA and return with bulk grain to Japan, and the oil-bulk vessels that carry oil from the Middle East and return carrying ores. One useful combination is passenger/container, as the passengers are ensured priority treatment in ports.

Question 30

Pacific to the west coast of America, and then travel by rail on land bridges across to ports on
the east coast, before continuing their sea journey to Europe. Two main links are the ‘long
bridge’ in the north between Seattle and Baltimore, and the ‘short bridge’ in the south
between Long Beach and New Orleans

Question 34

A distribution channel

A company sells its product directly to customers without the involvement of middlemen. Examples include catalog sales through mail order, online sales via the Internet, door-to-door sales through selling agents, and sales at factory outlet malls. This channel is less costly because it avoids middleman markups on products, but it cannot create economies of scale due to limited sales volume to each customer.

Uses multiple channels to sell the company’s products to wider customer bases and thus increases potential revenue streams. For example, Starbucks sells its coffee at its franchised stores and grocery stores while also selling its coffee via direct mail. Likewise, Walmart sells its products at its worldwide retail stores while also selling its products on the Internet. This channel, however, can create channel conflicts between multiple sales
outlets.

Alternative types of organization

s see the world as a single market; they usually make standard products for shipment anywhere in the world, using the locations where they can work most effectively

Question 44

lose the central control and have loosely linked, largely independent companies working in different geographical regions. The separate divisions have more flexibility to adjust operations and products to local needs. Two dominant company structures have divisions organized by geography or product. This is somewhat misleading, as no organization can use either of these exclusively. An organization with geographic divisions still needs some broader co-ordination of each product supply chain, and an organization with product division still needs some regional structure
