In intermodal container transport, multiple modes of transport are combined, such as road transport, rail and sea freight. The container remains in the same loading unit and is transported from the loading location to the delivery address.

Intermodal transport of containers: how does it work?
Container transport can be part of sea freight transport. We organize the movement from the loading location to the port, from the port to another port, and then from the port to the delivery address. We do this worldwide and it is carried out using an intermodal approach.
With intermodal transport, different modes of transport are used to move goods from A to B. At KLG Europe we have many years of experience in sea transport and, consequently, in one of its most important components: container transport. We specialize in shortening lead times and reducing empty or unladen kilometers.
Container transport is possible worldwide, with a strong focus on routes to and from the Far East, China, India, Pakistan and the Middle East. Within Europe, transport is often organised intermodally.
