Multimodal transportation is the transportation of any cargo by two or more modes of transport, organized by one freight forwarder. In this case, the freight forwarder can involve the transport of other contractors for their purposes, but sole responsibility for the delivery of goods to the customer rests with them, since one contract is concluded for the entire route of the goods. The freight forwarder calculates the cost of transportation taking into account many factors, such as the type and dimensions of the cargo, the time and final destination of delivery, the season, and the availability of convenient connections.
Multimodal rail and road freight transportation is the most common type of transportation. A developed network of roads and railways allows delivering goods across countries and beyond their borders in a short time. Such transportation is usually combined with sea transport when it is necessary to deliver cargo to or from a port.
Our company has been working in the multimodal transportation market for many years. We pay great attention to the preparation of various stages of transportation: studying routes, terms, and the cost of each stage of delivery. Having our own transport helps us optimize costs and speed up the delivery of goods.
