For large multinational enterprises, the application of multimodal transport has been commonplace. These enterprises have a large number of routes and transportation products, and need to use a number of different modes of transportation for distribution. For example, when transporting a shipment from China to the United States, the shipment needs to be transported from an industrial park in China to a port, then transported by ship to the United States, and finally the final transfer needs to be completed by truck or train delivery. In this whole logistics process, a variety of different modes of transport are carried out in different links, which is the application of multimodal transport. For these large multinational enterprises, multimodal transport can help them greatly reduce logistics costs, while improving the speed and security of product delivery.
For small businesses, multimodal transport is also very suitable. Although the amount of freight transported by these small businesses is relatively small, it also requires a lot of time and money to invest in the process of transportation. The use of multimodal transport can reasonably integrate the resource advantages of various small-scale transport companies in the market to achieve faster and more economical distribution. For these enterprises, through multimodal transport can greatly optimize the efficiency of their entire logistics transportation, enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
However, although multimodal transport has many advantages, not all enterprises are suitable for multimodal transport applications. Because in the actual operation process, there are still some risks and problems that need to be considered in multimodal transport. For example, in the cooperation process of multiple modes of transportation, the transportation time and cost of each mode of transportation are different. Therefore, there is a need for tracking, monitoring and scheduling of goods throughout the transportation process. For these operations and control, if the enterprise's own management level is not or insufficient, it will make multimodal transport may lose its due advantages. At this time, enterprises can consider entrusting multimodal transport services to professional logistics companies.
In short, multimodal transport is suitable for the vast majority of enterprises, whether large or small. However, enterprises should fully consider their own resources and practical operation capabilities, as well as the risk factors of the link to be controlled. Enterprises can integrate and coordinate logistics resources on the market, so as to truly enjoy the many advantages brought by multimodal transport.
