Which mode of transport is having high terminal costs as compared to other mode of transport ?
Answer: A
The highest terminal costs are at Marine ports.
Water transport needs harbours, docks, cranes, warehouses and pilot and handling services, and loading and unloading a ship is slow and expensive. Once loaded, however, a ship has the lowest line-haul cost per tonne-kilometre of any mode, which is why sea transport suits bulky goods over long distances.
Rail has lower terminal costs than shipping but higher than road, and road transport, including bus stands, has the lowest terminal costs and the highest line-haul costs.
