Intermodal transport refers to the movement of goods using two or more modes of transportation, such as ships, trucks, trains or planes. It involves the use of standardized containers or dedicated intermodal vehicles that enable seamless transfer between different modes of transport. This helps to optimize transport efficiency, minimize costs, and reduce carbon footprint. Intermodal transport is widely used in the global supply chain industry for transporting various goods, including raw materials, finished products, and perishable goods.
