WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE USING A MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT SERVICE
Many companies offer multimodal transport services. These companies undertake to carry your cargo through every stage from origin to destination and to handle all the necessary procedures, so choosing the right one is very important. Experience, reliability, references and pricing are of great importance in the logistics sector. In addition, it is useful to be clear on some key points before agreeing with a company: details such as the cargo to be transported, its volume and how important speed is will help logistics companies serve you better and give you clearer information. Contact us for transport services.
Multimodal transport is achieved by carrying out logistics operations using different means of transport and different transport units. Multimodal transport differs from intermodal transport: in multimodal transport, modes are combined and the means of transport may change.
Sea-Road Transport (Sea-Land): Sea-road transport is the carriage of cargo using more than one mode (sea and road) within a single transport plan. Cargo is carried by sea to a port and then by road from the port to its destination. It is a very common method for long-distance freight, is cost-effective and provides access to many parts of the world.
Rail-Road Transport (Rail-Land): Rail-road transport is the carriage of cargo using more than one mode (rail and road) within a single transport plan. Cargo is carried by rail to a station and then by road from the station to its destination. It is a very common method for medium- and long-distance freight.
Air-Road Transport (Air-Land): Air-road transport is the carriage of cargo using more than one mode (air and road) within a single transport plan. Cargo is carried by air to an airport and then by road from the airport to its destination. It is ideal for cargo where on-time delivery matters and a fast transport solution is required.
Sea-Rail Transport (Sea-Rail): Sea-rail transport is the carriage of cargo using more than one mode (sea and rail) within a single transport plan. Cargo is carried by sea to a port and then by rail from the port to its destination. Sea-rail transport is a very common method for long-distance freight..
Air-Sea Transport (Air-Sea): Air-sea transport is the carriage of cargo using more than one mode (air and sea) within a single transport plan. Cargo is carried by air to an airport and then by sea from the airport to its destination. It is ideal for cargo where on-time delivery matters and a fast transport solution is required.
Many aspects of multimodal transport can work to your advantage. If you need speed, multimodal transport can deliver faster than other approaches. Safety is higher, as using different modes can reduce the risk of damage. Depending on the modes chosen, multimodal can be more economical, and logistics costs are particularly favourable for long-distance transport. Multimodal transport is also environmentally friendly. It causes lower emissions than a single mode of transport.
The modes used in multimodal transport include air, sea, road and rail.
