Below are 4 alternatives for shipping cargo from Australia to Netherlands by sea, rail and air transport. The least expensive and most environmentally friendly shipping alternative appears to be by sea transport with expected transit time of about 45 days. The fastest route, unsurprisingly, involves air transport and is expected to take about 7 days, including pre-carriage and last mile delivery. Unfortunately, it is simultaneously the most expensive shipping solution with higher emissions.
1. Most economical shipping alternative between Australia and Netherlands
The cheapest way to ship cargo from Australia to Netherlands is to deliver by truck from Sydney to Sydney port, transfer to vessel and ship to Amsterdam port, then deliver by road to final destination in Amsterdam. The route's total transit time is estimated at around 45 days, including loading and unloading operations at origin and destination as well as terminal handling at transit terminals.
