Intermodal Freight Transport
Intermodal freight transport is a method of moving goods using multiple modes of transportation, such as trucks, trains, and ships. This system allows for efficient transfer of cargo between different transport vehicles without the need to unload and reload the goods. It helps reduce shipping costs and transit times while minimizing damage to the cargo.
This approach relies on standardized containers, which can be easily transferred between different modes. By utilizing intermodal containers, companies can streamline their logistics and improve supply chain efficiency. This method is increasingly popular in global trade, as it supports the movement of large volumes of goods across long distances.
