Inland Transportation Services

Seamlessly move your containerized cargo from major vessel terminals to your designated inland locations.

What is Inland Transportation?

For logistics to be efficient, they often require a combination of transport options, known as intermodal transport. Inland transportation describes all logistics transport activities that go over land. This includes:

Road Freight
Train Freight
Inland Water Transport

Covering truck, rail and barge, our Inland Transportation Services are designed to get your goods to their destination in a shorter time – your goods will remain in the same shipping container they were packed in at their origin.

We are also looking into clean fuel alternatives and have started piloting biofuels and battery-powered electric trucks in collaboration with our customers.
