Multimodal Transport with a European company

What is Multimodal Logistics?

Multimodal Transport with a European company

Multimodal transport utilises different shipping methods that are coordinated by one operator to who takes sole responsibility for the entire shipment under one contract.

Combining sea, air, road or rail in multiple ways to maximise the efficiency and speed of each shipment, multimodal transport utilises the best shipping modes at different points in your supply chain, cutting down on the number of operators you must deal with directly and increasing your overall supply chain efficiency.

With a multimodal shipment, a single bill of lading is needed as your goods move from one mode of transport to the next through the shipping process. This is different from intermodal transport where a different carrier is responsible for each leg of transport.
