Intermodal transport

By combining road, Ro-Ro, rail and sea, we find the right balance between cost and transit time for your cargo.

Service models

  • Road + Ro-Ro

    The trailer covers part of the route by ship and completes the rest by road.

  • Road + rail

    Rail covers long distances, with road handling the first and last miles.

  • Road + sea

    The container moves with port connections and is delivered to the door by road.

Which combination suits when?

The right choice depends on the cargo, route and delivery plan.

Frequently asked questions

Is intermodal suitable for all cargo?

No. The route, cargo type and delivery plan need to fit. If they do not, we suggest an alternative such as direct road transport.

How does it differ from multimodal?

In intermodal transport the cargo usually stays in the same unit (trailer or container) and moves between modes without being unloaded.

What do you need for a quote?

Loading and delivery addresses, cargo size and weight, cargo type and your target date are enough.
