Intermodal Transport
Intermodal transport, in which different modes of transport—such as sea, road and rail—are used in sequence without the cargo being unloaded from the container, is one of the most popular logistics methods today, both in Turkey and worldwide. At Afex Global Logistics, we offer you a seamless, environmentally friendly and cost-effective intermodal supply chain through our innovative approaches and global connections.
Key Advantages of Intermodal Transport
Intermodal transport is not merely a mode of transport, but a strategic management approach complemented by optimal costs and excellent business processes.
Cost-Effectiveness: Thanks to competitive freight rates, it offers significant cost savings compared to traditional road transport, particularly for long-distance shipments.
Guaranteed Transit Times: By minimising the risk of operational disruptions, we guarantee delivery within the specified transit times.
Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable: By minimising the use of road transport, it reduces carbon emissions, thereby helping you achieve your sustainable logistics objectives.
Operational Reliability: As it is minimally affected by congestion at border crossings, as well as road and weather conditions, the risk of operational disruptions is minimised.
