Starting with the most common types, transportation by roads accounted for the most quantities in 1974 with nearly 70 million tonnes. Despite a slight decrease in 8 years after, it gradually rose by 80 million tonnes for the next 12 years before witnessing a surge of 100 million tonnes in the final year. Regarding pipeline delivery, there is a dramatic growth in the quantity of products with over 20 million in the first 8 years. Prior to 1990, it remained flat until it fell and then levelled off from the late 1990’s onwards.
