This section discusses the transport of goods by air.
Air Cargo
Air cargo has played an important role in the global economy, and has carved out a niche in terms of transporting high-value, lightweight commodities. It only represents roughly 1 percent of the overall freight movements by weight, and the demand for air cargo is primarily constrained by the costs, as air cargo services can be up to five times the cost of transporting the goods by road, and up to 16 times the cost of sea transport. The aviation sector only contributes 2 percent of all anthropogenic emissions, but is projected to be 70 percent higher than 2005 levels by 2020, even if fuel efficiency improves by 2 percent per year.

There are approximately 2,500 aircrafts that are involved in air cargo. The air cargo industry is made up of different types of market players. Air cargo carriers provide the physical transportation services within a certain segment of the transportation chain (usually from airport to airport), while cargo-only carriers are typically passenger aircraft carriers modified for cargo, and can further be classified into scheduled cargo carriers which provide regularly scheduled cargo-only flights, or dedicated charter operators that are hired for specific deliveries and do not have regular schedules (particularly important for time-sensitive deliveries). Combination carriers, which are estimated to carry around half the global international air cargo, primarily focus on passenger transport but reserve space for transporting cargo. Most carriers operate with a hub-and-spoke network, where the cargo is first transported to a hub and then these are reloaded to another aircraft that will bring the cargo to the final destination. Integrators, which offer integrated solutions to shippers (door-to-door service), specialize in express freight (including international air express services). Freight forwarders, which arrange the transportation chain (shipper to consignee) and prepare the necessary activities for ensuring the smooth transfer of the goods, also play very important roles for moving companies in muscat oman.

The air cargo industry is highly sensitive to fuel prices and to world trade growth, and is highly affected by economic disturbances such as the economic crisis in the late 2000s. The rise in fuel expenses as well as the costs of meeting security requirements are also important challenges. The industry is also limited by constrained resources such as the limited number of aircrafts and pilots. Trade imbalances make it difficult for operators to fill available cargo space (e.g. demand for cargo capacity from China to the United States will exceed the demand for cargo capacity from the United States to China). The industry is also highly dependent on activities on the ground such as cargo and warehouse handling, which will ultimately impact the demand for air cargo services.

In terms of challenges related to the implementation of energy efficiency and emission reduction measures in the aviation sector, inadequacy in policy frameworks, in information and education, and in political will have been considered by industry experts as the major hurdles to overcome. The implementation of global policies seems to be appropriate, but the process is slow and has to take into consideration the fair treatment of players, countries, and regions.

Road freight transport is defined as freight that is moved by an on-road vehicle (typically a truck).
Long Haul
Road freight movements of greater than 350 to 400km are generally classified as long-haul movements. Long-haul road trucks are typically heavy-duty (more than 33,000 pounds or 15 metric tons). These heavy-duty long haul trucks contribute a large share of energy consumption in the transportation sector due to the high activity rates, as compared to other road freight vehicles. Significant energy and emissions savings can be accrued from the utilization of technologies and operational measures targeting long-haul trucks.

Regional
Trucks performing regional delivery (i.e. from a central warehouse to local stores) are subjected to duty cycles that are characterized by a mix of constant high-speed operation on highways, and of lower-speed operation in urban areas with start-stop conditions, and is thus a mix of long-haul freight and urban freight movement.

Urban
Urban freight and logistics is concerned with the movement of goods in urban areas (such as towns and cities) and can include the delivery and collection of goods for local companies and households, as well as specific supply chain activities such as postal services.

Water-based freight transport can be divided into two main categories—inland waterways and marine cargo.
Inland Waterways
Inland waterways can provide a competitive alternative to road and rail freight movement in many countries. Navigable inland waterways can be defined as stretches of water that are not part of the sea, but are suitable for navigation for vessels. Freight movement using inland waterways is not only cost-effective but is fuel-efficient. With increasing congestion and emissions from road freight movement, inland waterways can provide a major scope for increased utilization in the coming decades, offering a more environmentally-friendly alternative to roads and railways in terms of energy efficiency, noise pollution and emissions. Estimates suggest that the energy consumption of inland waterway transport is less than 20 percent of road transport and about 50 percent of rail transport, resulting in its external cost to be about seven times lower than that of road transport.

Marine Cargo
Shipping is often considered an efficient form of transporting goods on a per ton-kilometer basis. However, ships have been estimated to emit more particulate matter and black carbon per unit of fuel consumed due to the quality of fuel used. According to the Third International Maritime Organization (IMO) Greenhouse Gas Study in 2014, international shipping in 2012, which carried as much as 90 percent of the global world trade, accounted for 2.2 percent of the global CO2 emissions. Black carbon from the international commercial shipping industry is estimated to contribute around 2 percent of the total global black carbon emissions. The Annex VI of MARPOL aims to progressively reduce global emissions of SOx, NOx and particulate matter resulting from ships. In 2013, CO2 emissions prevention was added. An energy efficiency design index (EEDI) which relates to the CO2 emissions per transport work to ship size must be produced for all new ships. A ship energy management plan (SEEMP) is also now required.
