What Is Intermodal Shipping?

A Smarter Way to Transport Freight
Intermodal shipping involves the use of multiple modes of transportation—such as trucks, trains, and ships—without directly handling the cargo when switching between modes. This ensures your freight is moved efficiently while maintaining its security from origin to destination.

Why Choose Intermodal Shipping?

  1. Cost-Effective Solutions
    Intermodal shipping leverages the efficiency of rail and sea transport for long distances, often at a lower cost compared to truck-only transportation. This is especially beneficial for high-volume or long-haul shipments.
  2. Eco-Friendly Logistics
    Rail and ocean transport are significantly more fuel-efficient than trucks, making intermodal shipping a greener choice for businesses committed to sustainability.
  3. Flexibility and Reach
    With intermodal, your freight can travel seamlessly across multiple regions, utilizing the strengths of each mode of transport to reach even the most remote destinations.
  4. Enhanced Security
    Cargo remains in standardized containers throughout the journey, minimizing handling and reducing the risk of damage or theft.
  5. Reliable and Scalable
    Intermodal shipping provides predictable transit times and is scalable to meet the needs of growing businesses, whether you’re shipping a single container or managing complex supply chains.

How Intermodal Shipping Works

  1. Containerization: Your goods are securely packed into standardized containers, ready for seamless transport across modes.
  2. Transport by Truck: Containers are picked up and transported to rail yards, ports, or other intermodal hubs.
  3. Rail or Ocean Freight: Long-haul portions of the journey are completed using trains or ships, maximizing cost and fuel efficiency.
  4. Final Delivery: Trucks complete the last leg of the journey, ensuring door-to-door service for your cargo.
