Directions:

1. Consider a container of hockey skates moving from Kitchener, Ontario to Moscow, Russia; develop two diagrams of the key freight movement steps. The first diagram will focus on intermodal transportation involving ocean transport; the second diagram will outline intermodal transportation using air transport.

2. Investigate the flows and include the following elements in their diagrams:

Origin-to-port moves - distance, possible carriers, routes, transit times. Port-to-port moves - distance, carriers, routes, transit times. Port-to-destination moves - distance, possible carriers, routes, transit times. 3PLs to potentially involve in the process and their location of activities. Potential problem spots - likely areas for delays, disruptions, losses.
