03 · Intermodal

Not to be missed
in logistics.

Everywhere in the world this is the most used transport there is. Many variants are possible, and everything lands on its feet.

What it is

Intermodal

Intermodal is the other half of what we are specialised in, and it is a conversation rather than a fixed product. Which combination a shipment needs depends on the deadline, the equipment and the lane.

Water is the cheapest leg and the slowest. Rail is steadier than road over long distances. Road is what makes either of them arrive at a door. Most routes use at least two, and the handover between them is where the time is usually lost, so that is the part we plan first.

Included

  • Sea and road, terminal to door
  • Rail on the long leg, road at both ends
  • Container haulage to and from the terminals
  • One file across every leg, one reference

How it runs

From your ask
to their door.

The same four steps whichever mode the shipment uses. What changes is how much of it you want to see.

01

The brief

What is moving, from where to where, and by when. If the deadline is the hard part, we start there and work backwards.

02

The route

A quote with the whole route in it: the legs, the customs work, and the assumptions behind the price.

03

The move

Booking, collection, documents and the handover. One file, one contact, one reference number.

04

Proof

Delivery confirmed, documents filed, and an invoice that matches the quote.
