01
What is Intermodal?
Cargo stays in the same trailer throughout — loaded once, transferred between truck, train and ferry without rehandling. Less damage, lower labour costs.
02
What is Multimodal?
Different transport modes under a single contract. One contact, one invoice, one responsibility — regardless of how many carriers are involved.
03
EU Directive Advantage
The EU Combined Transport Directive grants 44t maximum weight — 4 extra tons vs road. This can reduce cost per pallet by 10–15% on eligible routes.
