Multimodal transportation of cargo is a type of transportation within one shipment, but with not less than two types of transport. So, in this type of combined transportation, air, rail, sea and road transport can be involved simultaneously.
The main advantage of multimodal transportation is that it is carried out by one freight forwarding company. Hence, service costs, time to work out the optimal route and settlement of issues are reduced to a minimum. Overall financial and legal responsibility, as well as the safety of shipment is also managed by one company.
Most frequent scheme of multimodal transportation looks as follows: a cargo is taken from sender, then transported to the nearest port by road. After that it is delivered to port of destination by sea. Thereafter, the cargo is delivered to recipient either by road or railway.

Combined freight forwarding gives an opportunity to dispatch cargo from any location in the world and deliver it directly to the recipient.
