Multimodal cargo transportation is the delivery of goods by a single company using various modes of transport: road, rail, air, sea. The company enters into a contract with the shipper and is fully responsible for the preservation of the cargo and the fulfillment of obligations.
Intermodal transportation involves operations in which multiple companies collaborate to deliver goods using diverse modes of transport. For example, a portion of the route may be handled by a trucking company, another part by rail, followed by sea transport, and so on.
In this case, the client independently seeks out service providers. They establish contracts with rail, road, air, maritime, or river operators. Route planning and process coordination are also the shipper’s responsibilities. The distribution of cargo safety responsibilities is shared among these companies.
To streamline the transportation process and ensure cargo safety, companies often turn to professionals and prefer a multimodal approach.
