What is multimodal transport?
Multimodal transport is a transport system that combines two or more different modes of transport to transport goods from one point to another.
This type of transport can include different combinations of road, sea, air, or rail transport, depending on the specific needs of clients and the available infrastructure.
Example of multimodal transport
- - The cargo is initially transported by truck from the production location to a port.
- - There, it is loaded onto a sea container and transported by sea to another port.
- - Upon arrival, the cargo is unloaded and transported by train to the final destination.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about multimodal transport
We combine transport modes to optimize cost, time and environmental impact. Here is how it works.
Multimodal transport uses at least two different modes (road + rail + sea + air) under a single contract and a single responsible carrier. The cargo remains in the same loading unit (container/swap-body) throughout the journey, without being unloaded between transport modes.
Intermodal — multiple carriers with separate contracts per segment. Multimodal — a single contract and a single carrier responsible for the entire route, even if they subcontract the modes. For clients, multimodal drastically simplifies management, liability and documentation.
Recommended for: long distances where combining modes reduces costs (e.g. China → Europe via sea + rail), areas without direct road access (islands, mountainous regions), reducing carbon footprint, avoiding traffic congestion and circulation restrictions in certain countries.
Cost reduction up to 30% vs single-mode transport, CO2 emissions reduction by 40-70% through rail/sea use, more predictable delivery thanks to scheduled routes, less cargo handling (intact in container), a single point of contact and a single invoice for the entire route.
We issue a single multimodal transport document (FBL — FIATA Bill of Lading or equivalent) covering all segments. This replaces multiple individual documents (CMR, sea B/L, air AWB) and simplifies customs and damage claims processes.
The most common combinations: sea + road (Port of Constanța → final destination), rail + road (rail terminal → warehouse), sea + rail + road (Far East → Europe), air + road (urgent shipments). We tailor the solution based on cost, time and cargo type.
