Intermodal Facility
An intermodal facility is a transportation hub where different modes of transport, such as trucks, trains, and ships, come together to transfer cargo. These facilities are designed to streamline the movement of goods, making it easier and more efficient to switch between transport methods. They often include loading docks, storage areas, and equipment for handling containers.
These facilities play a crucial role in the global supply chain, as they help reduce transportation costs and improve delivery times. By facilitating the seamless transfer of cargo, intermodal facilities support industries and businesses that rely on the timely movement of products, contributing to economic growth.
