Intermodal refers to the transportation of goods and materials using multiple modes of transportation, such as container ships, trucks, and trains. It involves the use of standardized containers that comply with ISO dimension guidelines, allowing the freight to remain in the same container during transfers between different modes of transportation. By utilizing various transportation modes, intermodal freight offers logistical flexibility and efficient delivery solutions. The advantages of intermodal transportation include cost reduction, sustainability benefits, decreased risk of shipment loss, scalability of operations, and a more streamlined and cost-effective shipping process.
