Multi-Modal Transport
Minimizes time loss at trans-shipment points
Multimodal transport, which is planned and coordinated as a single operation, minimizes the loss of time and the risk of loss, pilferage and damage to cargo at trans-shipment points. The multimodal transport operator maintains his own communication links and coordinates interchange and onward carriage smoothly at trans-shipment points.
Provides faster transit of goods
The faster transit of goods made possible under multimodal transport reduces the disadvantages of distance from markets and the tying-up of capital. In an era of Globalization the distance between origin or source materials and consumer is increasing thanks to the development of multimodal transport.
Reduces burden of documentation and formalities
The burden of issuing multiple documentation and other formalities connected with each segmented of the transport chain is reduced to a minimum.
Saves cost
The savings in costs resulting from these advantages are usually reflected in the through freight rates charged by the multimodal transport operator and also in the cost of cargo insurance. As savings are passed onto the consumer demand increases.
