Intermodal cargo solutions involve transporting goods using multiple modes of transportation, such as rail, road and ocean, without handling the freight itself when changing modes. The Rhenus Group uses different types of containers and transport units for this method, which makes transportation efficient and reduces the risk of damage.
Intermodal cargo solutions typically use a combination of rail, road and sea transport. We select these modes based on efficiency, cost-effectiveness and the specific requirements of your shipment, ensuring a seamless transition between the various means of transport.
The intermodal service offers several benefits, including reduced transportation costs, greater flexibility in route planning and improved sustainability through the use of environmentally friendly modes such as rail and ocean shipping. With the Rhenus Group’s intermodal cargo solutions, you benefit from minimized handling and reduced risk of damage to and loss of your shipment.
You can track your intermodal shipment with our track & trace tool. This allows us to provide you with real-time updates on the location and status of your freight, ensuring transparency and efficient supply chain management.
Freight security in intermodal transportation is ensured through various measures, including secure loading and sealing of containers, 24/7 monitoring and the use of secure terminals and facilities. Additionally, strict adherence to international regulations and standards helps protect against theft and damage.
Intermodal transport uses multiple types of transportation, e.g. trucks, trains and ships, for a single shipment, making it more sustainable. For instance, a journey from Germany to Central Asia by road alone covers more than 7,000 km and produces over 7,500 kg of CO2 emissions. By using an intermodal route – transport by truck to the port, then by river barge, sea freight, rail and ferry – we cut emissions by up to 65%. Additionally, we use our own containers throughout the trip and balance imports and exports to avoid empty trips, leading to more competitive pricing and greater sustainability.
