Intermodal Terminals
Intermodal terminals are facilities where different modes of transportation, such as trucks, trains, and ships, come together to transfer cargo. These terminals play a crucial role in the supply chain by allowing goods to be efficiently moved from one mode of transport to another, reducing transit times and costs.
At intermodal terminals, containers are loaded and unloaded, and logistics operations are coordinated. They often include storage areas, loading docks, and equipment for handling cargo. This integration of transport modes helps streamline the movement of goods, making it easier for businesses to manage their inventory and distribution processes.
