Tiivistelmä
This thesis was focused on the organization of the delivery of oversized cargo by different modes of transport. The main objective of this thesis was the determination of the most optimal delivery route in accordance with specified needs of a customer.
The theoretical framework was completed by researching literature that is related to the chosen topic. The empirical part is based on analyzing the information from the theoretical research, identifying possible delivery routes and evaluating criteria for existing options. Following that, all measured routes were compared with each other. Taking into account that all customers have their requirements associated with the delivery of oversized cargo, there is not only one best way of transportation. Therefore, it was necessary to consider the importance of each criterion for the customer in order to determine the appropriate route in accordance with their requirements.
According to the analysis, the air transport took the first place in the safety of carriage and delivery time. The lowest transportation costs were achieved by waterways.
