Multimodal Transport

Multimodal Transport

Multimodal Transport involves using multiple transportation modes, such as sea, land, and air, to move goods from the point of origin to the final destination.

Multimodal transport, also known as combined transport, involves the seamless movement of goods using multiple modes of transportation—such as sea, land, rail, and air—under a single contract. This approach integrates different transport modes to optimize efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance overall logistics performance.

A multimodal transport operator (MTO) or carrier takes responsibility for the entire journey, coordinating the various legs of transportation and ensuring a smooth transition between modes.

Multimodal transport offers a comprehensive solution, particularly beneficial for international shipments where goods traverse diverse geographical regions.
