Intermodal transport from Begoma provides your business with a reliable and cost-effective logistics solution.
What is intermodal transport?
Intermodal transport solutions refer to the movement of goods using multiple modes of transportation in a seamless and efficient manner. The cargo remains in the same container throughout the journey, which is known as an Intermodal Transport Unit (ITU).
Modes of transport
Intermodal solutions typically combine:
- Road transport
- Rail transport
- Maritime transport
The specific combination depends on the route, cargo type, and logistics requirements.
Benefits of intermodal transport
Cost efficiency: Intermodal transport lowers overall shipping expenses by combining the advantages of different transport methods. Our optimized routes and multi-modal solutions offer competitive pricing. The longer the distance, the greater the opportunity to save money.
Lower climate emissions: Using rail and maritime options, particularly for long distances, reduces carbon emissions compared to many other modes of transport.
Flexibility: Switching seamlessly between transport modes allows for greater flexibility in response to varying conditions and demands.
Enhanced efficiency: Optimized routing and resource use lead to faster, more reliable deliveries.
Minimized handling: Goods stay in the same container throughout, decreasing the likelihood of damage or loss.
Efficient and cost-effective logistic solution
Our intermodal transport services are designed to maximize operational efficiency and minimize costs. By integrating multiple modes of transport, we enhance the flow of goods, reducing handling and improving overall reliability. With minimized transit times and a keen focus on security, our services reduce the likelihood of delays and ensure the safe delivery of your shipments.
We customize each solution based on your unique logistical needs. Whether you are managing high-volume shipments across borders or smaller loads within national markets, our intermodal services provide a flexible, tailored approach that aligns with your supply chain demands.
A more sustainable transport practice
At Begoma, we understand the importance of sustainability in modern logistics. By leveraging rail and sea options, we help reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with transportation. Rail and sea transportation offer substantial environmental benefits over road-only transport, allowing your business to reduce its carbon footprint.
By moving one ton of goods 1.5 kilometers via railway as opposed to trucks, CO2 emissions can be reduced by up to 83%. With stricter environmental regulations coming each year, that impact is not something to take lightly.
Our intermodal solutions align with sustainable business goals without compromising on service. This approach ensures that our clients can better meet environmental standards while maintaining the high-quality logistics support they need to succeed in today’s competitive market.
