Intermodal transport chain

This logistic flow chart sample shows a chain of intermodal transport to link fluvio-maritime. It was designed on the base of the Wikimedia Commons file: Logistique fluvio-maritime.jpg.

The method reduces cargo handling, and so improves security, reduces damage and loss, and allows freight to be transported faster. Reduced costs over road trucking is the key benefit for inter-continental use. This may be offset by reduced timings for road transport over shorter distances." [Intermodal freight transport.
