Multimodal freight for business
We build transport chains using several modes when one mode alone is not the best fit for timing, cost or geography.
Road, rail, sea and when appropriate air legs can be combined around actual origin and destination points, cargo characteristics and available infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions
What is multimodal freight?+
It is a logistics chain that uses several transport legs in sequence, such as road + rail or sea + road. The combination depends on route, cargo and required timing.
When is multimodal freight useful?+
It can help when a single direct mode is unavailable, too expensive or unsuitable for the timing and geography. We compare options for each shipment rather than promising one universal solution.
Can you build a China to inland Russia multimodal route?+
Yes. The international leg may end at a port or terminal and continue by rail or road to the final Russian destination.
Who coordinates transfers between modes?+
Within the agreed scope, the logistics manager coordinates the sequence of transport legs, handover points and documentation so the client works through one contact.
Does the cargo always have to be reloaded between transport modes?+
Not always. In a container scheme, several transport legs can use the same container. The exact handling plan depends on route, terminals and equipment.
How is the total multimodal transit time calculated?+
We combine the timing of each leg with schedules, terminal handling, transfer points and final delivery. The total timing is confirmed for the specific route.
Which documents are needed across different transport legs?+
The set depends on the goods, countries and transport modes. Commercial, transport and customs-related data should be consistent throughout the chain.
Can a multimodal route be arranged door to door?+
Yes, when suitable. Pickup from the supplier and final delivery to the consignee can be included together with the international and terminal legs.
