Rail forwarding is a great price alternative to air freight and time alternative to sea freight. It is also an ideal solution for ensuring production continuity, especially in case of delays from the exporter.
We handle domestic and international export and import shipments using railcar types adapted to the cargo being transported - both regular and broad gauge.
We provide comprehensive supply chain organization, including customs clearance and transshipment, as well as insurance. Our experienced team offers expert advice on terms of carriage, route selection or tariffs.
Intermodal transport
×
Intermodal transport, also known as combined transport, refers to the movement of goods that involves various modes of transportation while maintaining a single cargo unit throughout the entire journey. This means that from the moment the cargo is dispatched to its final recipient, a container, swap body, or trailer is used without the need to unload the actual goods. This type of transport typically combines road and rail transport, allowing for cost optimization and benefits.
Usually, rail transport is employed over longer distances, which is cheaper and more environmentally friendly than road transport. Meanwhile, at the beginning and end of the journey, trucks are used to deliver goods directly to the recipient, even in hard-to-reach areas.
However, intermodal transport is not limited to road-rail transport. It also includes road-maritime connections, road-air connections, as well as combinations of various modes, such as rail-road-maritime transport.
To be classified as intermodal transport, certain conditions must be met:
- Involvement of at least two different modes of transport
- A single contract for the entire shipment
- One operator responsible for delivery
- Transport of the cargo in a single transport unit
