Intermodal Service
Alternative to the traditional rail service with conventional wagons, already in Greece there are operating companies providing service with 45’ rail cntr. Consider two different types of intermodal service.
- Mixed rail/road service with the following steps: – The 45’ ctnr is send to shipper, via road service for stuffing and returns to the rail depot.
- It travels directly or via a rail HUB in Central Europe to the rail depot in Greece
- From the GR rail terminal equipment is send to consignee for unstuffing
B. Mixed rail/road and sea service with the following steps:
- The 45’ ctnr is send to shipper, via road service for stuffing and returns to the rail depot
- It travels via rail, to the rail/port depot of the provider
- From there it goes via RO/RO or public ferry to the designited GR port of the provider
- From the GR port, equipment is send to consignee for unstuffing
In both cases the voyage operates simular for import/export basis
-We contact client in order to have all relative information of his transport work (destinations, transit time).
-UFF evaluates all criteria and propose the pricelist, with terms and conditions
-Both parties find common ground on the proposal and the trade is initiated
-UFF receives the loading order. In this step we can follow any flow program set up from client, without having him to interfere to the procedure.
-Following the flow program or the loading order we contact shipper/consignee in order to arrange loading
-Follow up the intermodal service and contact all parties informing them for the voyage
-Arrange the delivery to shipper consignee
-Send via email all relative documents
-Any KPI can be followed
