Looking to ship multimodal or intermodal without losing control at every handoff?
When your shipment crosses borders and switches modes, delays usually happen at the transitions—pickup, terminals, customs, and last‑mile. We coordinate road, rail, sea, and air under one strategy so you reduce cost, protect ETD/ETA targets, and stay compliant.
- Multimodal (one master contract) or intermodal (carrier flexibility per leg)
- Door‑to‑door planning with one point of contact and clear SLAs
- Mode optimization: ocean, air, rail, and trucking aligned to timeline and budget
- Documentation support: invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, HS codes, security filings
- Live tracking, ETA forecasts, mile'stone alerts, and optional API/EDI integrations

Service overview
Multimodal and intermodal transport combine two or more modes—road, rail, sea, and air—to move freight efficiently across regions and borders. Multimodal unifies the full journey under one master contract and accountability. Intermodal uses multiple carriers/contracts per leg when you need lane‑specific flexibility. We support both approaches with transparent rates and end‑to‑end visibility.
What we handle
- Ocean: FCL and LCL on major lanes, with drayage and depot coordination
- Road: FTL/LTL trucking, flatbed, reefer, and last‑mile delivery to DCs and stores
- Rail: block‑train and scheduled services across China, CIS, EU, and MENA corridors
- Air: priority, economy, and charter options for time‑critical or high‑value shipments
- Special cargo: OOG/flat‑rack, DG/IMDG, pharma/temperature‑controlled, and white‑glove
- Project logistics: oversized, heavy‑lift, and multi‑leg project shipments for industrial needs
How it works
- Scope the move: origin, destination, commodity, dims/weight, target ETD/ETA, and service priorities.
- Design the plan: compare modes (ocean/air/rail/road), define handoffs, and set milestones/SLAs.
- Execute the legs: pickup, export handling, main line‑haul, terminal coordination, and final delivery.
- Manage exceptions: proactive changes if schedules shift, capacity tightens, or disruptions occur.
- Close out: delivery confirmation (POD), document completion, and shipment review.
Service scope & options
We can run port‑to‑port, port‑to‑door, or full door‑to‑door moves—multimodal (single master contract) or intermodal (carrier flexibility per leg).
- Warehousing and staging between legs
- Consolidation planning to optimize cost and cycle time
- Insurance coordination and shipment-level visibility requirements
- API/EDI integrations to connect status and documents to ERP/WMS
Incoterms supported: EXW, FCA, FOB, CFR, CIF, CPT, CIP, DAP, DDP.
Optional program elements (as agreed)
- Warehousing and staging between legs
- Consolidation planning to optimize cost and cycle time
- Insurance coordination and shipment-level visibility requirements
- API/EDI integrations to connect status and documents to ERP/WMS
Routes & coverage
Solutions are built around practical corridors and capacity—linking China, CIS, EU, and MENA rail networks with road drayage, ocean lanes, and air options when needed. Mode selection and routing are aligned to your deadlines, cost targets, and risk profile.
Documentation & compliance
Cross‑border moves require consistent, accurate paperwork across every leg. We support:
- Commercial invoices and packing lists
- Certificates of origin
- HS codes
- Security filings (where required)
- DG/IMDG documentation for eligible shipments
- A single document set and milestone updates from booking to POD (scope‑dependent)
Transit time & scheduling
Lead time depends on the chosen mode mix, terminal cutoffs, customs steps, and transfer timing between legs. Multimodal planning focuses on fewer breaks in accountability and cleaner connections; intermodal planning focuses on lane‑specific carrier selection and flexibility.
What affects multimodal & intermodal transport cost / rates?
- Lane selection and corridor capacity (including peak season conditions)
- Mode mix (ocean vs. rail vs. road vs. air) and service level (priority vs. economy where applicable)
- FCL vs. LCL and consolidation strategy
- Drayage/first‑mile and last‑mile scope and access constraints
- Special cargo needs (OOG/flat‑rack, DG/IMDG, temperature‑controlled, white‑glove)
- Transfers and handling at terminals between legs
- Detention/demurrage exposure and exception handling requirements
- Documentation scope, security filings, and border rules tied to the route
