Intermodal transportation involves utilizing multiple transport modes—such as rail, truck, and ship—to move goods from their origin to their destination efficiently. While intermodal transportation can be beneficial, managing deliveries requires precise coordination and logistics expertise to understand schedules and transitions between different transport modes.

Our Intermodal Process Streamlines Your Business Operations
Our intermodal process starts at designated terminals where goods are loaded into standardized containers for easy transfer between various transport modes. These containers are then seamlessly transferred from trucks to railways or ships with minimal handling required along the way.
This method significantly reduces handling costs because the containers remain securely packed through transit points. Moreover, it minimizes the risk of product damage as goods stay within their original containers throughout transportation.
