8 Activity 1

1. Identify the modes of transport DHL use.

 Intermodal carriers are the method of transportation that DHL use. As we all know,
intermodal refers to the transportation of freight using many modes of
transportation. And it is made quite apparent in this article that DHL's extensive fleet
of trucks and airplanes ensures the effective and efficient delivery of logistical
services. Meaning to state that they have utilized many forms of transportation to
move, deliver, and offer services to their clients. Therefore, the corporation wouldn't
be able to provide their consumers with the goods or services they need on schedule
without these intermodal carriers.
2. Analyze and describe the clause/s of Incoterms involved in the delivery service of
Shopee to their customers.
 Carriage Paid is an Incoterms clause that applies to Shopee's delivery service to its
clients. In this case, the seller covers the cost of transportation to the specified
location. If there is any damage or loss, the seller is responsible for it because they
are first and foremost required to assure export clearance.
3. Propose an optimal and cost-efficient transport mode/s for DHL in conveying goods from
China to Thailand.
 In my opinion, it is still preferable for DHL to engage an intermodal carrier because doing so
will make it simpler for them to transport their clients' products or services, even those who
are located abroad or across international borders. Although employing rail as a means of
transportation offers the lowest cost, it still requires a significant capital expenditure to be
able to attain it. I still advise using the intermodal carrier.
