How Multimodal Transport Helps Businesses Save up to 30% on Logistics — Without Delays or Losing Control

Looking to ship cargo across several countries but don’t know where to start? Worried about coordinating different transport modes to make sure everything arrives on time and intact?

Multimodal freight transport is not just logistics — it's a strategic tool that, when managed professionally, saves you money, time, and nerves.

What Are Multimodal and Combined Freight Services?

Multimodal transport involves using two or more types of transportation — road, rail, sea, and air — in a single supply chain. This flexible approach helps adapt routes to business needs, cut logistics costs, and meet tight deadlines. The terms “combined transport” and “intermodal freight” are often used as synonyms.

But the real advantage is not just in using various modes — it’s in how the entire process is managed.

Why It Pays Off

Combining different types of transport helps optimize logistics routes, reduce costs, and speed up delivery. For example, shipping goods from China to Russia or Belarus can begin with sea freight, followed by rail or road. It’s faster than sea-only routes and cheaper than air.

This is especially relevant in international multimodal freight, where smart logistics become a competitive edge.
