MULTIMODAL AND SEA CARGO TRANSPORTATION

Multimodal transportation is the transportation of the same cargo by different types of transport. The types of transport used can be combined in any combination: road, rail, sea and air. By and large, any transportation is multimodal. For any transportation, the cargo must first be transported from the sender's warehouse to the port or airport, or the train departure station. After the main transportation, the cargo must be delivered from the port, airport, railway station of destination to the consignee’s warehouse. In rare cases, namely in the case of road transport, the cargo is delivered by one type of transport. In all other cases, there are always several types of transport. For example, if you carry out air transportation, in any case, you first need to deliver the cargo to the airport by road. If you ship by sea, the cargo must first be delivered to the port by road or by rail. If you carry out railway transportation, then the cargo must first be brought to the railway station by road, etc. When transporting cargo in any way, a number of questions arise related to the safety of the goods themselves, the safety of transportation, clearance at customs posts, etc. A major carrier will provide the client with a maximum range of additional services. But even the largest company will not be able to do everything: it’s impossible to have your own transport, storage facilities and employees in all parts of the world. While almost every cargo transportation is carried out simultaneously by several modes of transport. Such shipments are called multimodal - they are required in the case of cargo delivery after air, rail or sea transport by road to the destination warehouse. “Multimodal transportation is difficult in the organization for one transport company, therefore, it is more convenient to choose several carriers and combine their interaction in the delivery of goods. In multimodal transport, there are problems associated with the loading and unloading of goods and the possibility of damage or loss. ” For the preservation of cargo, container shipping is actively practiced when the shipping company provides empty containers to the customer, ensures that the cargo is placed in the container and seals it. The container is opened only at the destination, which allows you to control the safety and security of the transportation of cargo. Container shipping replace rigging work. However, for certain types of cargo special packaging is required, therefore, in almost all transport companies, the customer is provided with the services of experienced movers. Basically, the main purpose of multimodal transport is international freight traffic. Mainly, export import of goods. For example, from countries located in Southeast Asia, one of our main trading partners today, container transportation is carried out according to the following scheme. For example, a cargo ship from the Vietnamese Saigon goes to a Chinese transit point. From where the cargo is transported by rail to our customs point. After that, the customs clearance and road transport enters the warehouses wholesale distribution. Naturally, this is a fairly general scheme. But even she clearly makes clear all the advantages of multimodality. With all its complexity, it allows in the shortest possible time to transport cargo, without exaggeration, to any point of the globe.
