Transport is the process of moving a certain item from one place to another. There are various methods in which goods and services are transported. Some of the methods include air which uses aeroplanes and jets in their transportation. Boat transport is also another method used in transportation of goods and services. The last method is through road. This is the most commonly used system. Road mainly uses many systems such as buses mono cycles and bicycles among others.

Transportation with the use of boats is also referred to as sea transport. It was widely used in the olden days before most countries were colonized such as Kenya. Boats were not widely known and as such, people viewed them as a very expensive method of transportation.

There are various advantages and disadvantages of inland type of travelling. One of the advantages of the inland type of travelling is that it is less costly than the other types of travelling. This is mainly because there are various resources that are used such as the river convey.

In this they mainly use the water which is a natural resource or the boats themselves are made from the wood which is gotten from the trees which are readily available in the area for their making. It does not also need too much maintenance cost as compared to other types. This makes it cheaper since in the case of maintenance of the vessel, it will only need simple things such as the wood and nails which are easily available.

The other method of shipping which is the overseas shipping method is a method that uses various types of vessels in conducting its day to day activities. Some of the vessels may include the liners tankers and the tramps. The liners have a fixed routine that they should follow when conducting their activities.

The rivers are a natural and most affordable means of water system that is used in the society. Small boats are mainly practised in rivers as well as an artificial dam that is constructed so that it can be diverted. Rivers were also used during the olden times for their transportation from one place to another. Rivers were also used to mark boarders from one area to another.

Another type of system is the canal system this system is mainly used to connect one place to another. The canals are also used for irrigation as well as its navigation. More capital is mainly used in the construction process of the canal system. The maintenance process of the canals also need a lot of capital put into it for it to work out efficiently. This makes it more costly than the other types of system which is the rivers.

Water has so many helpful ways which reduces the amount of struggle that most people who want to undertake it go through. It also makes it . Since some people may need to have a kind of transport but find that it is not easily affordable at that particular moment. This gives an easier way through for them to use it.
