1 simple procedures, unification of responsibility

International multimodal transport mode, regardless of how far the goods fortune, whether done by several means of Transport Co transport of goods, and whether the goods in transit on his way through many times transport, all transportation matters by the multimodal transport carrier is responsible for. The owner only for one consignment, entered into a contract of carriage, to pay a shipping, handling an insurance, and have a combined transport bill of lading. Documentation and procedures associated with each mode of transport for the trouble of being reduced to a minimum. The consignor only negotiate with the multimodal transport operator.

Since the unification of responsibility, once in the transport process of loss of or damage to the goods, by the multimodal transport operator shall be responsible for the entire transport, and each sub carrier transport section of the section of transport of goods only for their loss of responsibility.

2 reduce the time lost during transport, the cargo transportation more convenient

As a separate transport multimodal transport to be organized and coordinated operation, can reduce the loss of time and the loss, damage, theft of risk in the operation. The multimodal transport operator through his communications and coordination, in the operation of the transfer of various modes of transport can be carried out continuously, faster transportation of goods, which make up the defect of distance with the market and the backlog of funds.

3 save transportation costs, reduce the transportation costs

International multimodal transport due to the use of the container, container transport benefits are reflected in the multimodal transport, multimodal transport operator a one-time charge of transportation costs, one-time insurance costs. After packing the goods loaded on a range of transport is available through bill of lading settlement, to speed up the cash flow of goods, reduce the loss of interest. While also saving the human, financial and material resources, thereby reducing the transportation cost. It is helpful to reduce the cost of goods exports, improve the competitiveness of goods in the international market.

4 to improve the transport level of organization, the door to door transport, so that reasonable transportation become a reality

Intermodal transportation can improve the level of organization, improve the interface between the work of different modes of transport, the transport of various transport modes, can put the goods from the shipper's factory or warehouse to warehouse or consignee of the mainland factory, so that the door to door transport, so that reasonable transportation become a reality.

In the current competitive situation in international trade, freight transport demands speed, low loss, low cost, and adapt to the requirements of the international multimodal transport. Therefore, more and more use of international multimodal transport. Can say, the international multimodal transport is the development direction of the international transport of goods. Our country is vast in territory, with the development of international multimodal transport potential. Can be expected, as China's inland transport conditions improved, our international multimodal transport will flourish.
