This type of transportation is used when transportation involves the use of two or more types of transport. For example, it is necessary to deliver cargo from a factory in China to the consignee’s warehouse in Minsk. This may require a combination of sea, rail and road transport.
In international multimodal container transportation, experience, connections and reliable partners are of great importance. After all, to organize such transportation, it is necessary to coordinate a considerable number of organizations and people, correctly draw up the necessary documents and take into account all critical factors so that the freight forwarding service is provided efficiently and professionally.
As a rule, with multimodal container transportation, one contract is concluded with the customer and a single rate is agreed upon for the entire route. In this case, the forwarder takes responsibility for the passage of the cargo along the entire route.
Basic transport documents issued for multimodal transportation:
- Sea Bill of Lading, or Bill of Lading (sea waybill)
- SMGS (railway consignment note)
- CMR (car bill of lading)
Basic documents for cargo:
- certificate of origin
- packing list
