Intermodaalisissa

Intermodaalisissa refers to a Finnish concept related to multimodal transportation. It describes the process of moving goods using two or more different modes of transport, such as road, rail, or sea, without any handling of the freight itself when changing modes. This means the cargo remains in the same container or vehicle unit throughout the journey. The goal of intermodaalisissa is to optimize logistics by leveraging the strengths of each transport mode. For instance, long-distance travel might utilize rail or sea for cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits, while the initial and final legs of the journey would use trucks for flexibility and direct delivery. This approach aims to reduce transit times, lower transportation costs, and minimize environmental impact compared to single-mode transport. The efficiency of intermodaalisissa relies heavily on seamless coordination between different transport operators and the availability of appropriate infrastructure, such as intermodal terminals where goods can be transferred between modes.
