TOTAL GLOBAL LOGISTICS specializes in multi modal transport offering services that far exceed those of our competitors.The massive growth in containerization which introduced the modern concept of Multi modal Transport has shifted the cargo delivery system from “port-to-port” to “door-to-door”.
Moreover, several industrial and agricultural companies have changed their production methods to be able to use containers for export and capture the advantages of MT. A good example is the Japanese square melons.
Simply, Multi modal Transport can be viewed as “the chain that interconnects different links or modes of transport -air, sea, and inland- into one complete process that ensures an efficient and cost-effective door-to-door movement of goods under the responsibility of a single transport operator, known as a Multi modal Transport Operator (MTO), on one transport document”.s
