Intermodal Transportation Multimodal transport refers to the use of two or more modes of transport (such as sea + rail, air + road) to complete an international shipment, with a single carrier responsible for the entire journey. Multimodal transport offers the advantages of efficiency and flexibility, making it particularly suitable for long-distance and cross-border shipments. The carrier will issue a multimodal bill of lading, which consolidates responsibilities and simplifies customs clearance. This model allows businesses to reduce costs and shorten delivery times.
