In today’s world of international trade, where efficiency and timing are key, multimodal transport has become one of the best options for importing or exporting goods. At Grupo ICL, we explain what it is and why it might be the ideal solution for your business.

What is multimodal transport?

Multimodal transport involves using two or more modes of transportation (for example, sea, land, and air) under a single logistics contract, ensuring a more efficient, coordinated, and secure operation.

Example: A shipment leaves by ship from China, arrives at the port of Manzanillo, is transported by truck to the customs office in Mexico City, and from there to your warehouse.

Advantages of multimodal transport

1. Reduced delivery times:
   By combining different modes of transportation, routes and transit times can be optimized.
2. Optimized logistics costs:
   Operational costs, redundant procedures, and risks due to delays are reduced.
   ICL Tip: We analyze the most cost-effective route based on your cargo type, origin, and destination.
3. Greater geographic coverage:
   You can reach locations that a single mode of transport can’t handle alone.
4. Better coordination and traceability:
   A single logistics operator, like Grupo ICL, manages the entire supply chain.
5. Lower risk of loss or damage:
   Centralized coordination significantly reduces risks during transfers.

When is multimodal transport right for you?

• When importing from Asia, Europe, or South America

• When needing on-time and reliable delivery
