Multimodal Transport
Multimodal Transport Overview
Multimodal transport involves the use of multiple modes of transportation, such as road, rail, air, and ocean transport, to transport goods from one location to another. It’s ideal for complex supply chains that require multiple modes of transportation to reach their destination. Multimodal transport can provide greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness than using a single mode of transportation.
There are different types of multimodal transport, including intermodal transport, which involves the use of multiple modes of transportation to transport goods using standardized containers. There are also regulations and safety measures that apply to multimodal transport, such as regulations for transporting hazardous materials and safety measures for cargo loading and unloading.
