Intermodal Terminal
An intermodal terminal is a facility where different modes of transportation, such as trains, trucks, and ships, come together to transfer cargo. These terminals are designed to efficiently handle the loading and unloading of containers, making it easier to move goods across various transport systems. This integration helps streamline logistics and reduces transportation costs.
Intermodal terminals play a crucial role in global trade by connecting major transportation networks. They often feature specialized equipment, such as cranes and forklifts, to facilitate the transfer of containers. By improving the flow of goods, intermodal terminals contribute to the overall efficiency of the supply chain.
