Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the company is located in a seaport town and the destination is 500 miles down the coast, water transport would be the most cost-effective option. It would require a barge or a ship to transport the materials, but it would save money compared to using trucks which would be expensive due to the distance traveled. Railroads and pipelines may not be ideal options as they may not be easily accessible or cost-effective for this particular route. Air and drone transport are not feasible options for transporting heavy materials like rock and gravel.
