Newsfeed Update
Most major project cargo movements use more than one mode of transport.
The risk does not sit on the vessel. It sits at the handover between modes.
Multimodal means cargo travels on at least two different modes under a single contract. Sea to road is the most common combination.
A vessel brings equipment to the discharge port. Specialist road transport carries it to the installation site.
The handover is where things go wrong. Documentation not pre-lodged. Crane not confirmed for the correct arrival window. The cargo arrives. The next leg is not ready.
That is not a mode failure. It is a planning failure.
This is why Transcar coordinates every mode and every handover as one connected operation before anything moves.
Planning a multi-leg movement? Let us talk.
