To minimize total transportation costs for an American company shipping bulk product manufactured in Asia and sold in Europe, the most effective intermodal practice would be to use a 'land bridge.' A land bridge involves the transportation of goods by ship to a port, followed by transportation overland (using rail or truck) to another port, and then continuing by ship to the final destination. This method takes advantage of the cost efficiencies of shipping while utilizing rail or truck transport to bridge landmasses, thereby potentially reducing the total transportation costs.
D. Land bridge
Agreed D
Agree land bridge correct answer..Land bridge transportation means transportation from one seaport to another by railway across continents instead of by ocean ship. At present, there are two common routes for using land bridge transportation in the world. One is Asia—America—Europe land bridge, the other is Europe—Asia land bridge.
pretty sure it is a land bridge because by boat is cheaper and can connect to truck or rail
