Connecting the stages of multimodal transport
Combining sea, road, rail and river–sea transport in practical multimodal solutions, with the overall route and logistics cost in view.
What does multimodal transport help coordinate?
SHUNE combines sea, rail, road and inland-waterway resources in sea–rail, sea–road and river–sea solutions. Transfers, storage, customs and delivery can be coordinated as required, linking the stages between origin and destination.
How should we compare transport combinations?
Start with the goods description, weight, volume, packaging, origin, destination and required delivery schedule. Our team then assesses the operating conditions and budget for different combinations, considering the whole journey rather than a single transport leg.
What should be confirmed for door-to-door service?
A door-to-door solution may involve origin handling, main-haul transport, transit, destination clearance and final delivery. Discuss the documents, service scope and handovers for every stage in advance. The actual arrangements depend on the cargo and the solution agreed by both parties.
