Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

INTENDED to give a door-to-door I collection and delivery service to British exporters of consumer goods to the Continent, a new facility using both sea and air routes is offered by Eurofreight, Ltd., Roadair House, Cornwall Road, London, S.E.1, and was officially opened on Tuesday.

The two services are known as Truksea and Trukair. Truksea offers arrangements to collect the consignment from the factory, deliver it to the port, ship it to the Continental port and forward it by road to its destination. The time taken for the entire operation is normally between four and seven days.

Trukair offers collection and delivery to the final destination within three days. Consignments are dispatched via Southend Airport. Both sea and air services are available at present to 13elgiurn, Holland, Western Germany and Luxembourg.

Chief advantage of the new services is the speed of delivery. British exporters may not be less favourably placed than their Continental competitors. Supervision of the consignment is given by one carrier throughout.
