Multimodal cargo transportation is an effective solution
Multimodal transportation is a method of transporting goods over long distances, in which goods and material values are transported by several modes of transport. This approach is most popular among customers, as it makes it possible to simplify the customs procedure and expand the geography of delivery.
A feature of modal transportation is that one logistics company is the organizer of transportation and is responsible for the safety of goods under the contract, providing comprehensive services in the field of loading and unloading, cargo insurance, etc.
Advantages of modal transport
Using a modal mode of transport gives the client the following advantages:
1. Products are delivered from point A to point B in the shortest possible time. This is especially important if it is the delivery of perishable products (refrigerated transport).
2. Transport services are less expensive, since the customer pays only one transport company and does not waste time and money on choosing other companies and connecting them for transshipment.
3. During transportation, losses and an increase in delivery time are excluded due to the lack of transport at the place of transshipment. The organization of multimodal transportation implies a clear connection of all types of vehicles.
4. International transportation – the ability to deliver goods anywhere in the world. A multimodal approach to transportation allows you to deliver goods and material values to another continent or to very remote points where it is impossible to reach only by road.
5. Cargo safety. Since one company is responsible for the shipment, the possibility of loss and damage of goods and material values is excluded, which is important when transporting expensive goods. You don’t have to worry about security or look for the culprits for damage or loss of value.
