Intermodal Freight

Intermodal freight transport stands out as an exceptionally efficient approach, involving the movement of cargo within intermodal containers or vehicles that transition seamlessly across various transportation modes, including rail, maritime, and trucking. This process eliminates the necessity for direct cargo handling during mode changes, resulting in heightened security, minimized damage, loss, and accelerated transit times. Among the primary benefits of intermodal freight transport are the cost reductions in comparison to road trucking and a substantial decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.

To ensure the seamless and hassle-free experience of intermodal freight shipping, we establish collaborations with intermodal transport providers, offering comprehensive services through a single contract. This approach alleviates the legal complexities for our clientele. Whether you require intermodal freight transport within Europe or across international boundaries, we remain committed to assisting our customers in realizing the full spectrum of advantages that intermodal transport brings.

Cargo Types

Intermodal transportation is flexible and suitable for carriage of any type of cargo, including:

  • Heavyweight;
  • Oversized;
  • Low density lightweight;
  • Piece, bulk and liquid cargo;
  • Groupage and Full Truck Load cargo;
  • Dangerous goods.

Each cargo type has distinct characteristics and needs to be transported in specific ways. Oversized goods, perishables, liquids, and a variety of other goods, for example, cannot be transported in standard containers. Full container loads (FCL) of such goods, on the other hand, necessitate the use of special tank containers, refrigerators, or "open top" containers. Small batches of lightweight or low volume goods are transported intermodally in conjunction with other consignments (LCL). Intermodal transportation of dangerous and oversized goods is subject to additional legal requirements. Based on the specific characteristics of each cargo type, we take into account all of the specifics of domestic rules and international legal regulations concerning intermodal transport and ensure fast and safe delivery.
