Intermodal logistics refers to the transportation of cargo using two or more modes of transportation – such as road and ocean transport – within a single shipment. The cargo remains inside the same loading unit or container while moving through the transportation network, improving efficiency and operational safety.
Intermodal transportation often combines road and sea transportation, with additional modes included depending on the route, destination and operational requirements. The combination is selected based on transit requirements, cargo characteristics and cost considerations.
Intermodal logistics can help improve transportation efficiency, support flexible route planning and reduce cargo handling throughout the journey. Businesses also benefit from enhanced supply chain resilience through access to multiple transportation alternatives.
Shipment visibility is supported through our track-and-trace capabilities, providing up-to-date information on cargo status and movement across different transportation stages.
Cargo security is supported through container sealing procedures, controlled freight handling processes, cargo monitoring and the use of secure operational facilities. Compliance with international transportation standards further contributes to shipment protection throughout the supply chain.
A manufacturer in Brazil might move goods by truck from its production facility to the Port of Santos, continue the journey via ocean freight to the United States, and then arrange final delivery through a regional transportation network. By combining transportation modes within one coordinated logistics solution, businesses can improve efficiency, optimize routing and maintain better control over international cargo flows.
