Types of intermodal logistics solutions
We offer various types of intermodal transport. We carefully select the right modes of transport to match route requirements and available infrastructure. Our services include:
- rail-road transport – the cargo is first delivered by road to a rail terminal, from where the container continues its journey by train to the final destination or another terminal,
- sea-rail transport – containers arriving by sea are reloaded at the port onto rail wagons and then transported to inland terminals,
- sea-road transport – after vessel unloading at the port, containers are loaded onto trucks and delivered directly to the destination,
- rail-sea-road transport – a complex transport chain combining rail, sea, and road modes, often used for intercontinental shipments.
Advantages of the intermodal transport
The greatest benefits of intermodal transport are achieved when rail is used as the backbone of the supply chain. Here are the key advantages:
- high efficiency – a single train can carry up to 80 (20’) containers, enabling fast handling of large shipment volumes,
- higher weight allowances – intermodal transport allows heavier containers to be moved thanks to more favorable weight regulations for rail-road combinations,
- simplified coordination – in rail transport, empty containers can often be dropped off at inland depots without the need to return them to seaports,
- environmental protection – rail-based intermodal solutions generate significantly lower CO₂ emissions compared to road transport.

What is intermodal transport?
Intermodal transport is a cargo transport system that uses different modes of transport – for example, rail and road.During such transport, the goods remain in the same loading unit – most commonly in a container. This means that when the mode of transport changes, the cargo does not need to be unpacked – only the entire container, together with its contents, is transshipped.
Efficient intermodal transport
Intermodal transport is a modern form of organizing long-distance cargo shipments, based on combining different modes of transport – such as rail transport, sea transport and road transport – within one integrated logistics process.
