Multimodal transportation

Multimodal transport combines road, rail, short and deep-sea transport, and inland waterway transport to find the best of many route options. By combining ocean, rail and road transport solutions, it is easy to find the right balance between cost and time, adding flexibility to any supply chain.

Benefits of multimodal transportation

Standardization
The cargo is usually transported in a transport container what allows to predict and optimize cargo quantity and supply chain.
Door-to-door
Cargo  transportation without additional customer’s concern. Trains and road transport links matching with large / short sea transport.
Сompetition
Multiple-carriers concept for better lead times and greater capacities

I think you don’t need to pay personal attention to multimodal shipments as this is a very specific product and there is a team , who will be doing it perfectly for the customers’ needs. On average, every BL  we are getting in 3-5 days after shipment when we have entire 21 days to present the documents for the Bank.In this way, it's easy to search and prove any Bill of lading or other document and it happens many times.
