Multimodal Transport

Combining several transport modes to build the best route for your cargo.

We combine several transport modes within a single shipment to build the right route for your cargo.

Multimodal transport brings different modes together — for example, rail on the main leg and road for the first and last miles. This approach helps balance timing, consignment size and budget where a single mode cannot do the whole job.

We assess the cargo and the route, select the combination of transport modes and the points where cargo is transferred between them, agree the terms with you and coordinate the shipment on every leg. You get a single delivery plan from shipper to consignee.

Every multimodal quote is individual: it depends on the route, the cargo characteristics and the chosen combination of modes. If you are unsure which solution will work best, we will suggest options.

Frequently asked questions

How is multimodal transport different from standard transport?

Standard transport uses one mode. Multimodal transport uses several, and we coordinate the entire chain so you do not have to deal with each party separately.

How do I get a quote for multimodal transport?

Submit a request with the route, cargo type, weight and volume. We will work out possible combinations of transport modes and prepare a quote.

What affects the cost?

The route, the number of legs and transport modes involved, the transfer points, the weight, volume and nature of the cargo, and the timing requirements.

Do I have to choose the transport mode myself?

No. Select “Not sure — suggest the best option” in the form and we will propose a suitable delivery solution.
