INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION
Intermodal Transportation
Intermodal transportation is an effective transportation method that is becoming increasingly popular in the logistics industry today. This method, in which loads are transported using at least two different transport modes without changing the transport container, stands out with its environmentally friendly and economic advantages.
How does it work?
Intermodal transport provides a harmonious transfer of loads between different modes of transport. For example, a load can be transported from the starting point to the destination by road first and then completed by rail, sea or air. The movement of the cargo in the form of combined transport without changing the transport container speeds up the operations and reduces the costs.
What are the advantages?
1. Environmentally Friendly Transport: Intermodal transport plays an important role in reducing the negative impacts on the environment. Switching between different modes of transport reduces traffic congestion caused by road transport, while resulting in lower carbon emissions. In particular, the combination of maritime and railway supports environmental sustainability by minimizing fossil fuel consumption.
2. Economic Costs: In long-distance transportation, intermodal transportation reduces the total transportation costs. This method, which is more economical than road transport, helps companies optimize their logistics expenditures. Less fuel consumption and less personnel use result in lower transportation costs.
3. Less Risk of Damage: Intermodal transportation minimizes the risk of damage during the handling process, as the cargo is transported without changing the transport container. This ensures a safer and more secure transport of loads and reduces the number of damaged products.
4. Flexibility and Speed: Intermodal transport allows different modes of transport to be combined flexibly. This allows better planning of transit times and faster response to customer demands.
