Sometimes cargo delivery cannot be performed only within the framework of one type of transportation for a number of reasons, and in such cases a multimodal method of cargo delivery may come to the rescue. This type of mixed cargo transportation is carried out by two or more modes of transport and makes it possible to maximize the process of cargo transportation, as well as significantly reduce the final cost of the project. In addition, transportation can take place according to a single document, and the transshipment carried out during it from one type of transport to another takes place without the participation of the cargo owner.

When organizing cargo transportation in a multimodal manner, first of all, a transportation project is being developed, which, while being precise in detail, includes absolutely all aspects of cargo delivery. Which transport is supposed to be used and on which segment of the route. The transportation route itself is optimized, which fasteners will be used on a particular transport, whether lodgements will be used, how overload will occur when changing vehicles along the cargo route, and the transportation time is determined, both for the project as a whole and for each individual segment of the route.
