Intermodal Transport Service
Intermodal transport is a logistics approach in which more than one transport mode is integrated and used. This approach is usually carried out by combining different modes of transport such as road, rail, sea and air. Its main purpose is to ensure more effective, efficient and sustainable transport of goods and cargoes.
Intermodal transport aims to optimise transport processes by combining the advantages of different modes of transport, as opposed to traditional single mode-based transport. For example, while more economical and environmentally friendly transport modes such as maritime or rail are preferred for long-distance transports, road or rail may be more suitable for short-distance transports. This flexibility reduces costs and minimises environmental impact.
