A high R-value is a sign of an effective insulating material. As you can see in the formula below, it simply shows that the less conductive a material, and the thicker it is, the higher the R-value will be.

All these methods are selected for different reasons with sea freight being the cheapest and is considered the most eco-friendly, but it takes a lot longer than the other options partly due to delays at port and time taken to unload the ships.
