Businesses are restructuring logistics routes: what is changing in supplies from Asia

Яким би популярним і затребуваним практично для всіх галузей бізнесу не був би Китай, успіх імпорту залежить не лише від вибору надійного постачальника, а й від професійно організованої логістики. Саме тому дедалі більше компаній довіряють міжнародні перевезення досвідченим логістичним операторам, що спроможні взяти на себе та організувати повний цикл доставки під ключ.

One of the most effective solutions today remains combined logistics — a format that combines several modes of transport within a single route. 

What is multimodal freight transport?

Multimodal logistics is the delivery of cargo using several modes of transport under the management of one logistics operator. Depending on the route, it can combine:

• sea ​​freight,
• rail transport,
• road transport,
• if necessary, even air delivery for urgent shipments.

The main advantage of this approach is that the client cooperates with only one company, and all issues related to route development, document processing, coordination of carriers, and cargo movement control are taken care of by the logistics partner.

Why is multimodal transportation particularly relevant when transporting goods from China?

As practice shows, delivery from China is rarely limited to just one mode of transport. Most often, the cargo goes through several stages: from the manufacturer to the port of departure by land transport, then by sea or rail, and then by road directly to the recipient.

At the same time, a well-designed multimodal scheme allows:

• optimize delivery costs;
• reduce transportation times;
• choose the most efficient route;
• ensure the safety of cargo at all stages of transportation;
• minimize organizational and logistical risks.

So thanks to this approach, the business receives a predictable and stable supply system regardless of the complexity of the route.
