What is multimodal transportation?
Multimodal transportation is the process of transporting goods using two or more different modes of transport.
These modes may include road, rail, sea, or air transportation.
The key feature of multimodal logistics is that the entire transport process is managed by a single logistics company under one contract.
This method is widely used in international logistics because combining different transport systems allows goods to be delivered more efficiently and safely.
How does multimodal transportation work?
In a multimodal logistics system, the shipper signs a contract with one logistics operator.
The logistics company then plans and coordinates all stages of the transportation process.
Main stages of the transportation process
• Cargo pickup and documentation
• Planning the optimal transportation route
• Transportation using different transport modes
• Customs procedures and documentation
• Delivery to the final destination
