multimodal terminal

A multimodal terminal is a facility where different types of transportation methods—such as trucks, trains, ships, and sometimes airplanes—connect and transfer goods efficiently. Think of it as a central hub that allows cargo to move smoothly between various transport modes, reducing handling time and costs. This integration helps facilitate goods movement across regions and countries, supporting supply chains and trade. Essentially, it's a logistics hub designed for seamless, coordinated transfer of cargo across multiple transportation systems to improve efficiency and reliability.
