Inland Transportation Services
Seamlessly move your containerized cargo from major vessel terminals to your designated inland locations.
What is Inland Transportation?
For logistics to be efficient, they often require a combination of transport options, known as intermodal transport. Inland transportation describes all logistics transport activities that go over land. This includes:
- Road Freight
- Train Freight
- Inland Water Transport
Covering truck, rail and barge, our Inland Transportation Services are designed to get your goods to their destination in a shorter time – your goods will remain in the same shipping container they were packed in at their origin.
