Multimodal Freight Transportation

Multimodal transportation means using a variety of carriers (sea, road, rail transport, airfreight) under a single forwarding agreement between a customer and a forwarder. The through route of such a shipment is called the “transport and logistic chain” for the shipment of goods using “door-to-door” solution.

Multimodal transportation requires consistency and coordination at every stage of transportation. Because the delivery from the producer to the customer is carried out using different types of transport, there are few companies that can afford to employ specialized staff for each stage.
