Intermodal transport - Import export

Container transportation is carried out by various types of transport, including water (river and sea transportation), land (road and rail transportation) and even air (air transportation, both ISO containers and specialized ULD can be transported). Advantages: ISO containers used around the world have ISO sizes, which allow creating a specialized transport for their transportation (container ships), as well as for loading and unloading (for example, reach-stacker). There is no need to create containers for any single batch of goods, as well as its fixation on the vehicle, which significantly saves timber, fasteners (nails) and other material resources. Possibility of intermodal transportation: the container can be immediately reloaded by crane from one mode of transport to another (for example, from car to wagon).
