AVG Logistics - 6 Ways to Optimize Your Logistics With Multimodal Transport

Best Logistics Company Pan India - AVG Logistics

Increase reliability

Choose open waters, not congested roads.

The European Union is short nearly 150,000 truck drivers, making this one of the 10 most difficult positions to fill. Recent safety regulations, border closures, and high road congestion, as well as rules limiting the number of hours drivers can be on the road, have exacerbated the shortage.

While traditional road transportation faces more problems than ever before, ocean transportation remains fully operational. At Unifeeder, we have access to the most extensive multimodal network in Europe, which allows us to move your cargo using the best combination of sea, rail, and road transport. This allows us to plan a smart and flexible logistics solution that helps you avoid bottlenecks and border crossings and get your freight to its destination on time.

Achieve big savings

Competitive prices, tailor-made solutions

A single vessel can carry the equivalent of 700 truckloads. Large-scale operations and efficient utilization of vessels allow for highly competitive pricing and flexible door-to-door solutions. Therefore, multimodal transport is a cost-effective alternative to traditional road transport.

Less freight loss

Losses caused by theft, damage, or pollution.

When you choose a multimodal solution, most of the transport distances are covered by sea, where the cargo is much better protected because it is stored safely on a ship than on a trailer on a congested and easily accessible highway.

By sea, your cargo is transported door-to-door in sealed steel containers with no handling in between. This reduces the risk of contamination and loss of your cargo by reducing the number of human touch points in transit.

In addition, our containers can be equipped with high-security seals that are stronger and harder to tamper with.

Scale your capacity

Based on fluctuations in demand.

Many companies are unable to adjust their logistics operations to meet fluctuating demand throughout the year. Whether you need to reduce freight flow, increase volume, or add new unloading points, multimodal transport scales much better than trucking.

Because of the size of our shipping fleet, the many containers, the extensive European network, and the many departures per week, you can quickly adjust operations to handle last-minute orders, changes, or delays by adding or rerouting freight as needed.

Think of it like this: If you want to move 10 additional truckloads from Rotterdam to St. Petersburg, and you want to do it in a time-efficient manner, you need to hire 10 new trucks and 10 new truck drivers. In multimodal transport, you can use a driver to cover short distances from the warehouse to the port. The rest of the distance is covered by a ship that can carry up to 700 containers.

Schedule your deliveries

Up to 7 days of free storage

In multimodal transport, you have access to storage facilities for empty and loaded containers at specially protected terminals throughout Europe. If you are not ready to deliver your cargo or do not have space to store it at your facilities, you can store it for up to 7 days free of charge at ports of departure and arrival. This makes it easy for you to keep track of your supply chain and make informed decisions for just-in-time delivery.

Choose the green alternative

Reduce your company's CO2 emissions by up to 60%.

Shipping containers by sea is a greener alternative to conventional land transportation, with significantly lower CO2 emissions per transported ton/kilometer. Thus, multimodal transport can make an enormous contribution to reducing the CO2 footprint of European transport.

One ship can remove up to 700 truckloads from European roads. By choosing multimodal transport, you can make a valuable contribution to the overall safety of the roads, the emissions footprint and the working conditions for the people involved in your supply chain.
