Multimodal Transport

Seamless Multimodal Transit Solutions

Multimodal transport combines the strengths of different transport modes—air, ocean, rail, and road—into a single, integrated shipping solution. At Scan2Freight, we manage the entire intermodal chain under a single contract, coordinating customs at transshipment points to provide seamless door-to-door delivery.

Whether you require high-speed **Sea-Air** connections to bypass port delays or **Rail-Road** corridors to move heavy industrial containers from Ludhiana to gateway docks, we optimize every segment to reduce costs and operational delays.

Single-Contract FIATA Multimodal Bill of Lading (FBL)

We simplify complex intermodal transport documentation by acting as a Multimodal Transport Operator (MTO), issuing a single legally binding contract:

• Single Contract: The FIATA Multimodal Bill of Lading (FBL) covers all ocean, rail, air, and road transit segments.
• Single Point of Contact: Shippers coordinate with our customer support team for all tracing, claims, and customs clearance updates.
• Simplified Claims: We assume carrier liability for the entire journey, simplifying cargo damage claims.

International Transit Customs Bonds

Intermodal cargo moving across borders or between seaports and dry terminals requires customs bonds:

• Sub-Manifest (SMTP) filings: Automated filing of sub-manifests to allow direct rail transfers from arrival ports to inland dry docks (ICD) without customs delays at seaport gates.
• Transit Bonds (Carnet): Financial guarantees submitted to border customs authorities ensuring cargo is in-transit and will not be diverted locally.
• GPS Tracking Seals: Electronic customs seals with GPS telematics are applied to containers to verify routes at land border gates.
