40.In choosing a transportation mode for a particular product, shippers consider as many as six criteria: speed, frequency,
dependability, capability, availability and cost. Thus if a shipper seeks speed, air and truck are the prime contenders.
If the goal is low cost, then water and pipeline are the prime contenders. Shippers are increasingly combining two or
more transportation modes, thanks to containerization. Containerization consists of putting the goods in boxes
or trailers that are easy to transfer between two transportation modes. Each coordinated mode of transportation
offers specific advantages to the shipper.
41.The practical advantages exist due to the peculiar environment within which counter trade usually takes place.
They quite likely disappear when the environment changes—as is happening now in many countries. Restructuring and the development of markets may therefore mean
that the environment within which counter trade usually takes place is changing so as to reduce its frequency.
Reduced ownership restrictions are likely to shift the organizational forms toward joint ventures and wholly-owned enterprises which possess production facilities. Improved knowledge, experience, and legal enforcement
of contractual obligations will likely mean increasing use of longer term and more sophisticated explicit transaction contracts.
