What are the types of multimodal transportation
Automotive & marine — We combine delivery by road to the port with subsequent sea transportation. With multimodal sea container transportation your cargo is delivered from sender to recipient without intermediate repacking.
Railway and sea — We use it for large, heavy cargo, when delivery by rail is advisable at the initial stage. We use this combination for raw materials, rolled metal, and equipment.
Aircraft — We combine the speed of air delivery with the flexibility of road transport. Suitable for urgent, valuable shipments when delivery time is critical.
Delivery by river transport — we include the use of inland waterways in combination with other modes of transport. Sea multimodal transportation is in demand for the delivery of bulk cargo.
Advantages of multimodal transportation
- Economic efficiency, including container transportation — We use the most profitable modes of transport on each section of the route.
- Reducing delivery time — We optimize routes for different types of cargo, minimize downtime when changing vehicles.
- Expanding the geography of supplies — We ensure accessibility to regions that are unattainable using single modes of transport.
- Risk reduction — We take responsibility for the entire route. You do not need to coordinate different carriers; all organizational issues are resolved by our transport company.
How is the price for multimodal cargo transportation determined?
The cost consists of freight for each type of transport, cargo transshipment, and warehousing at transit points. We take into account the costs of insurance, customs clearance, certification.
For multimodal transportation, the cost depends on the characteristics of the cargo:
- dimensions;
- weights;
- hazard class;
- temperature requirements.
Specific cargo requires special transportation conditions, which affects the price.
Also, tariffs for multimodal cargo transportation services are formed taking into account seasonality, geopolitical situation, and congestion of transport hubs.
