Multimodal and intermodal transportation for shipping of goods by various modes of transport.
Multimodal and intermodal transportation
Comprehensive solutions for transportation of goods all over the world
Combined (multimodal) transportation – transportation using two or more modes of transport in one route to deliver cargo. May include a combination of road, rail, sea and air transport. Intermodal transportation – similar to multimodal, but with the mandatory use of two or more modes of transport, where each mode of transport has its own separate section in the transport chain.
Our company provides multimodal and intermodal transportation services, ensuring reliable and flexible transportation of goods around the world. We offer optimal solutions for international multimodal transportation, including combining different modes of transport, such as road, rail and sea.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between intermodal and multimodal transportation?
Intermodal transportation uses two or more modes of transport, with each carrier responsible only for its own section of the route. Transportation includes transfers at exchange points, which requires additional coordination and documentation.
Multimodal transportation also includes several modes of transport, but the entire chain is controlled by one company or logistics operator. This simplifies the process, reduces risks and ensures a smoother and more convenient transportation for the client.
The key difference: in intermodal transportation, responsibility is divided between different carriers, while in multimodal transportation, one operator is responsible for the entire route.
What are the benefits of intermodal and multimodal transport?
The main benefits include a more flexible and cost-effective approach to logistics, the ability to choose the best routes and modes of transport to reduce delivery times and costs. Such transport allows you to use the strengths of each mode of transport, for example, sea for long-distance shipping and rail or road for delivery to the final destination.
How to choose the right mode of shipping for multimodal transportation?
The choice depends on several factors, such as the type of cargo, cost, delivery time and availability of transport routes. For faster deliveries, a combination of air and road transport can be selected, and for more economical and less urgent ones - sea and rail. It is important to consider the infrastructure available along the route and the cargo safety requirements.
