Overview
With the multimodal model we design sea–air–road–rail combinations as a single transport chain and manage planning, operations, customs and reporting from a single centre.
Advantages of multimodal model
- • Single contract, single counterpart and simplified documentation
- • Flexible optimisation between transit time and cost
- • Benefit from strengths of different modes within one chain
- • Integrated management of customs, insurance and warehousing
- • Operational complexity handled in the background
Example multimodal scenarios
| Scenario | Model | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| TR → EU / UK | Sea + Road | Cost-focused FCL/LCL shipments |
| Far East → TR → EU | Sea + Road / Rail | Hub-based distribution solutions with transhipment |
| TR → EU (zaman kritik) | Air + Road | Critical spare parts and high-value cargo |
Planning, tracking and reporting
For each multimodal chain we define a clear transport plan, planned transit times, connection points and key milestones. Regardless of how many modes are used, your cargo is tracked with a single reference number and status updates / KPIs are shared regularly.
