The word ‘Intermodal’ means using two or more modes of conveyance for moving freight. Intermodal transport offers a combination of transport solutions: air (plane), land (truck or train), waterways (barge and boat), and sea (cargo). The brokers involved in intermodal logistics are committed to transporting the goods from point A to point B.
In Intermodal shipping services, there is always a unique supplier involved, and thus, there are individual contracts. Several transporters join forces in completing this task within the same itinerary, yet using different transport modes: train, plane, truck, and barge, for instance.
