Question

Difference between inter modalism and multi modalism

Answer 1

Answer:

Intermodal transportation is the movement of goods in an intermodal container or vehicle, using two or more modes or carriers, during its journey from shipper to consignee. To learn more about intermodal shipping, read our previous posts about what it is and its benefits.

Multimodal transportation, also known as combined transportation, also involves the use of two or more modes or carriers, but with one contract through a single carrier who is legally liable for the entire process. This carrier doesn’t necessarily perform all service to complete the shipment’s journey. In fact, much of the transport is performed by sub-carriers which are called actual carriers.
