Multimodal transportation

Cargo transportation performed by at least two modes of transport under one contract.Carrieris responsible for the entire transportation, even if this transportation is carried out by different modes of transport (for example: by sea, by rail, by road, etc.). The carrier does not necessarily have to have all types of transport. Such transportation is often carried out by sub-carriers (called valid carriers in maritime law).
