Multimodal transportation

The use of a combination of different modes of transport in the transportation of goods

Multimodal transportation

Multimodal transportation of goods is one of the methods of intermodal international transportation, which allows delivering goods over long distances to any country in the world using two or more modes of transport under one contract.

This type of delivery is also in demand in situations where there is no direct road connection between the point of departure and the point of destination (for example, countries are separated by water).

The term and cost of delivery depend on the chosen route and the transport used, the characteristics of the products being transported (weight, dimensions, etc.) and the presence of special conditions (for example, temperature conditions). The best in terms of terms is a combination of land and air transport, and in terms of price – multimodal transportation of goods by sea or rail

  • TimingThe presence of well-established schemes of interaction with trusted partners allows for delivery in the shortest possible time.
  • PriceFlexible pricing policy of cooperation with regional representatives (including the largest maritime transport companies) makes it possible to set an attractive price for this service.
  • ControlContinuous monitoring of each stage of multimodal transportation makes it possible to timely provide customers with information about the status and location of the cargo, promptly correct the execution of accompanying documents and, ultimately, strictly adhere to the agreed delivery times.

Due to the fact that multimodal transportation can be carried out by combining different modes of transport, their geography significantly exceeds any other types of cargo transportation. Usually, when organizing multimodal transportation, a combination of sea, rail and road transport is used. There are rare cases when air transport is included in the multimodal transportation, which is usually used for high-speed delivery of cargo or its delivery to remote geographical areas with which there is no other transport connection.

For the convenience of using multimodal transportation, they distinguish the main “shoulder” of the transportation of goods and the type of transport that is used in this case: rail and sea.
