Multimodal transport

Multimodal transport refers to the movement of goods using more than one mode of transportation, such as trucks, ships, and trains, under a single contract. This approach streamlines logistics by allowing seamless transfer of cargo between different transport methods, optimizing efficiency and reducing costs. For example, a product might be shipped by truck to a port, transported by ship across the ocean, and then delivered by train to its final destination. Multimodal transport is essential in global trade, as it enhances connectivity and speeds up delivery times while minimizing handling and potential delays.
