Intermodal Shipping
Intermodal shipping is the transportation of goods using multiple modes of transport, such as ship, rail, and truck. It involves moving cargo from one location to another via containers that can be easily transferred between different types of vehicles and carriers.
Intermodal shipping offers several advantages over traditional freight services because it reduces the time and cost of transferring goods from one carrier to another.
Additionally, intermodal shipping makes for more efficient overall delivery since a single container can be used for multiple shipments across various modes of transportation to reach its final destination.
As such, this type of logistics allows companies to reduce overall costs by consolidating shipments, cutting down on fuel consumption, and reducing overall transit times.
