Intermodal freight refers to the transportation of goods using multiple modes of transportation—such as trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes—without handling the cargo itself when changing modes. This system improves efficiency, reduces costs, and enhances environmental sustainability.
✅ Cost Savings – Rail and water transport are cheaper than long-haul trucking.
✅ Efficiency – Reduces handling time and risk of damage.
✅ Sustainability – Rail and ships have lower carbon footprints than trucks.
✅ Flexibility – Suitable for domestic and international shipments.
Shipping Containers – Standardized containers (like 20-ft or 40-ft ISO containers) that can be transferred seamlessly between different transport modes.
Intermodal Terminals – Facilities where containers are transferred between modes.
