MULTIMODAL FREIGHT
At Rocket Logistics we provide multimodal transport for any kind of freight. Operations of this kind consist of combining two or more means of transport so that the goods arrive at their destination by means of a guaranteed door-to-door service. The goods nevertheless remain inside the same unit or vehicle, generally a container.
Multimodal transport offers numerous benefits, but particularly the fact that the cargo requires no handling when changing modes of transport. This makes for a faster, safer logistics operation, not to mention savings on handling costs. It also provides savings on packaging while reducing energy consumption and emissions, meaning that it is also good for the environment.
International multimodal freight transport
The longer the distance covered, the greater the importance of multimodal freight transport. Combined transport is the best option for meeting the challenges posed by transport between territories distant from one another. Each means of transport has its advantages and limitations, and at Rocket Logistics we use the best of each one to optimise times and costs wherever possible.
Completing port transport with road haulage to reach a precise destination, or using a railway line for the inland transit of goods arriving to the coast from the other side of the ocean, are just some of the opportunities offered by international multimodal freight transport. Multimodal transport also offers the option of its adaptation to the type of freight at hand, guaranteeing the best results.
Multimodal transport of dangerous goods
While consensus does exist with respect to the kinds of goods that are dangerous to transport, their associated specifications differ according to the type of transport used. That’s why, when proceeding with the multimodal transport of dangerous goods, we must make sure that we have the permits and certificates required for the load to be transported in the different vehicles involved in the operation.
At Rocket Logistics we take care of the necessary formalities to meet all legal requirements when transporting dangerous
