Career
Multimodal and intermodal transport are in high demand across the market, especially for medium- to long-distance shipping. Multimodal transportation of goods involves the use of several modes of transportation such as rail, ship, and truck. Different means of transport are used throughout the delivery process to create the most efficient and economic route for a given set of dispatch and delivery points. Thanks to an optimal combination of transport modes, delivery timing improves, costs fall, and cargo remains secure. Cooperation with a multimodal transport operator is typically performed, as a rule, on the basis of a single contract so as to lower the legal burden on the customer. AsstrA helps its Clients enjoy all advantages of multimodal freight shipping in Europe and internationally. Our employees analyze Client needs and cargo characteristics, optimize delivery routes, and estimate multimodal delivery costs. AsstrA performs multimodal transportation of any goods in compliance with delivery terms regardless of geography. Thanks to our own fleet and close cooperation with reliable Partners, we are able to offer a flexible pricing policy and maintain a high level of service quality.

✅ CARGO TYPES FOR INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATIONMultimodal transportation is flexible and suitable for carriage of any type of cargo, including:
- Heavyweight;
- Oversized;
- Low density lightweight;
- Piece, bulk and liquid cargo;
- Groupage and Full Truck Load cargo;
- Dangerous goods.
Each type of cargo has its unique characteristics and requires special transportation conditions. For example, it is impossible to carry oversized goods, perishables, liquids, and several other types of goods in standard containers. Instead, full container loads (FCL) of such goods require special tank containers, refrigerators, or “open top” containers. Multimodal carriage of small batches of lightweight or low volume goods is performed in a group with other consignments (LCL). Multimodal carriage of dangerous and oversized goods is subject to special legal regulation. AsstrA takes into consideration all the specifics of European domestic rules and international legal regulation concerning multimodal transport and ensures fast and safe delivery based on the specific characteristics of each cargo type.

REGULATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION FOR INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION SERVICESThe legal regulation of multimodal transport is complicated by a lack of widely accepted international conventions and unifying norms as well as a large number of legal acts regulating each separate transport mode. Our employees consider all aspects and norms of multimodal transport regulations, ensure their application, and take full responsibility for arranging all required documentation regarding shipping, waybills, customs declaration, and so forth.
