Multimodal and Intermodal Freight

Multimodal freight combining sea, air, road and rail under one plan and one contact, from Dubai to the region and the world.

What it is

Sometimes the best route uses more than one mode — sea to a regional port and road to the final city, or sea-air to save time without paying full air rates. We plan the combination, book each leg, and manage the hand-overs so the cargo keeps moving.

Who it is for

  • Shipments to inland or hard-to-reach destinations
  • Cargo that needs a balance of speed and cost
  • Projects with several legs and providers

What is included

  • Route design across sea, air, road and rail
  • Booking and coordination of every leg
  • Transhipment and hand-over management
  • One set of documents and one point of contact
  • End-to-end costing

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between multimodal and intermodal?

In practice both mean using more than one mode. Multimodal usually means one provider is responsible for the whole journey; intermodal often refers to cargo staying in the same container across modes. We can do either.

Is sea-air worth it?

For some lanes it saves a large part of the air cost while cutting weeks off a pure sea transit. We price it where it makes sense.
