Multimodal transportation —is transportation of cargo using different types
of transport: road, rail, sea and aviation. It is performed under one contract.
Organization, control, as well as responsibility for the cargo fall on one
carrier.

Most often, this type of transportation is used when transporting large
consignments over long distances. In this case, you can use all the
advantages of each type of transport and choose the most profitable route
both in terms and in price. Varying different combinations of transport and
routes will allow you to choose the optimal price / delivery time for each
particular transport.

Organization of multimodal transport does not imply that the carrier has all
the necessary transport. This is a very rare case, especially since some
stages are carried out by sub-carriers.
