Types of transportation

There are several types of transport. This information will allow you to choose the most suitable type of transport for transporting cargo:

• Air transportation;
• Road transport;
• Railway;
• Shipping.

Each type has advantages and disadvantages. The main criteria for choosing one type or another are the speed of delivery, the type and volume of transported cargo.

ATC C&L specialists will select the optimal type of transportation based on your budget and desired delivery time.

Multimodal transportation — mixed transportation using 2 or more modes of transport. Carried out under a single transportation document, responsibility for transportation is assigned to 1 person — the organizer of transportation.

The use of multimodal transportation is relevant for cases where delivery by one type of transport is not possible:

• There is no direct communication between sender and recipient;
• It is necessary to deliver cargo quickly and at reasonable prices, which is often more profitable for the client;
• It is necessary to make delivery by different modes of transport from different carriers. Almost any type of transportation is multimodal.

Our company’s specialists have developed a number of multimodal schemes, which you can view on our website in the Multimodal transportation section.
