International cargo transportation

A great part of containers falls on international cargo transportation. Motor cargo transportations are organized between manufacturing companies and ports, between distribution centers and markets, between terminals and consignees. Often time the cargo type is determinant when choosing the transportation modalities and transportation company. Container transportations are the most universal. Containers are convenient because they may be transported by many kinds of transport and this fact facilitates multimodal transportations.  It is easier to trans-ship containers than simple cargo.

Door-to-door transportation of joint cargo reduces terms of delivery and raises cargo safety.
