Service Detail

Multimodal Transport

Sticking to a single transport mode does not always give the best result. By combining road, sea and rail within the same operation we optimise cost, transit time and carbon footprint together.

A setup where the long leg runs by block train and the final kilometres by truck, for example, reduces both driver and fuel cost and emissions compared with pure road. We show you in numbers which split fits your lane.

Scope

What this service covers

Ro-Ro + road

A hybrid setup where the sea crossing reduces driver hours and fuel cost.

Rail integration

Block train economics on the long leg, truck flexibility on the last mile.

Single contract

Modes may change, but liability, invoicing and your point of contact do not.

Emissions reporting

Per-shipment carbon calculations feed straight into your sustainability reporting.

Good to Know

Multimodal Transport — frequently asked questions

Is multimodal always cheaper?

No. Over short distances transhipment costs can eat the advantage, which is why we only propose multimodal on lanes where it produces a net gain against road.

Does transhipment increase the risk of damage?

As long as the cargo stays inside a container or swap body it is not handled — the unit itself is transferred. Damage risk is therefore comparable to full road.

How do you produce the carbon report?

We calculate per shipment based on distance, mode and cargo weight, and can provide periodic summary reports on request.

How much longer is the transit time?

With rail integration, expect a few days more than pure road. We present both options side by side in the quote and take the decision together.
