Multimodal shipment

Covering your end-to end logistics with multimodal transportation

Multimodal transportation

Various types of shipping modes are available to shippers nowadays to help move goods worldwide. However, one shipping mode may not be enough to move your cargo from origin to destination. As a result, shippers face the necessity to combine transportation modes to get their cargo delivered.

With ATR Freight Broker you get access to a range of quality of multimodal cargo transportation. Multimodal shipment service is the combination of different types of transport to move you cargo to the contractual destination, continentally or intercontinentally. Even though the load breaks down into different modes of transport, your shipments still falls under a single contract and a single bill of lading.

Covering truck, rail and vessel, our multimodal shipping services are designed to get your goods to their final destination in a shorter time – your goods will remain in the same shipping container or flexy tank they were packed in at their origin.

Key advantage of multimodal transportation?

Both intermodal and multimodal transportation suggest using two or more shipping modes together. However, there is a list of differences between intermodal and multimodal transport. When you ship intermodal, a different carrier is responsible for each part of your transportation. Consequently, you have several separate shipping bills and reports from each link in the chain. When using multimodal transport, all of your shipments are signed under a single bill of lading. Both transportation methods have benefits and drawbacks, and here we will dive deep into multimodal.
