The company VED Agent deals with the provision of services for the delivery of goods by various modes of transport. It is called multimodal or mixed transportation.
In 1980, the UNO issued a convention defining multimodal delivery as the transportation of goods and raw materials by two or more modes of transport from one country to its destination on the basis of an agreement. On the way, the operator takes the responsibility for the cargo.
This type of transportation involves the delivery of cargo "door to door". That is, goods from the consignor’s warehouse are delivered to the consignee’s warehouse.
Mixed transport is used when the delivery by one mode of transport is not available.
A common multimodal delivery scheme is the following: the cargo is taken from the shipper, then transported to the nearest port by car. After that, it goes by sea to the port of the destination country. Then the goods are transported by trucks or trains directly to the recipient.
For multimodal transport, cargo is most often packed in containers, which are multi-returnable. This allows you to ensure the safety of the cargo, reduce the risk of damage to a minimum on the road and when reload to another vehicle.
