Multimodal transportation is the delivery of cargo using multiple modes of transport within a single logistics scheme.
This format allows for optimization of delivery times, costs, and routes.
Multimodal transportation is suitable when direct delivery does not offer the optimal balance of time, cost, or route.
They are often used for complex routes and non-standard tasks.
We analyze the route, cargo characteristics, timeframe, and budget.
Based on this, we create a logistics chain that addresses the client's needs, rather than simply combining transport options.
Multimodal transportation can combine air, road, rail, and sea shipping.
A specific scheme is selected individually for each cargo.
Shipping can begin:
- from our warehouse in China
- directly from the supplier or factory
The optimal starting point is determined by the logistics plan.
Yes. Before shipping, we check the quantity, invoice compliance, and readiness of the cargo.
We provide photo and video documentation upon request.
You receive a complete set of documents required for the entire transportation and accounting chain.
The documents are prepared in a clear and structured format.
Liability is allocated depending on the transportation arrangement and insurance terms.
All terms are specified before the start of transportation.
Yes. Upon request, we can arrange cargo insurance for the entire multimodal transport route.
Yes. We select a logistics solution based on the client's specific needs.
