Multimodal Transport

Marine Terminals Corp East. offers multimodal services for shipments of all kinds of cargo including out-of-gauge and heavy lifts as well as different kinds of containers by different modes of transport.

The coordination of involved transport vehicles from one center is a characteristic feature of the multimodal transportation. Thereby, the process of goods delivery is optimized at the expense of the following conditions: specific character and the length of the route, nature and the volume of goods, special requirements towards goods’ transportation, fulfillment of customs and borderline formalities.

International multimodal delivery of cargoes requires agreed work of all the elements of a transportation system. It also represents a complex logistic task that can only be solved by the highly skilled specialists. Otherwise, there is a risk of time and cargo loss that results in the lost revenues for the consignee, a fall of reputation in the eyes of the client and, as a result, a refusal from further work. International shipments are a field of activity where above all one values the ability to reveal high efficiency and quality when dealing with one’s obligations. Lots of things and sometimes even the whole business of our clients depend on on-time and safe delivery.

Better transit time and performance

Transit times for multi-modal service fall between normal air and ocean shipments on the same lane, with time savings up to 50 percent over an ocean transit. Select Asian routes act as capacity buffers and offer transit times similar to air transit but perform much better thanks to space availability.

In practice, the individual estimation of the ways and delivery time requires lots of time and effort. Therewith, the exact result is achieved not always. That is why the best decision is to address professionals who specialize in this particular kind of transportation (in other words, address to us). We are always able to offer several of worthy route alternatives for the implementation of the specific project with the indication of advantages and drawbacks of each variant.
