Multimodalism is the process of providing

a door-to -door or warehouse-to-

warehouse service to the shipper whichembraces two or more forms of

transport ,and involves the merchandise

being conveyed in a unitized form in thesame unit throughout transit. It involves s

scheduled and/or dedicated service .

Forms of multimodalism are:

1,Containerization -FCL/LCL/road/sea/rail.

2,Land-bridge-trailer/truck-road/sea/road.

3,Land-bridge pallet/IATA/container-road/sea/air/road.

4,Trailer/truck-road/rail/sea/road/. 5,Swap-body-road/rail/sea/road/.

All forms of Multimodalism involve a dedicatedservice usually under non-vessel operating

common carrier (NVOCC) or non-vesseloperating carrier (NOVC) arrangements.

Overall, the foregoing factors demonstratehow multi-modalism is leading the growth ofworldwide markets.

5.2 factors driving multi-modalism in the

twenty-first century

Overall multi-modalism involves a team of

provides in a transport chain where all the

constituents work closely together in

accord with market needs and objectives.

It requires each party to the multi-modal

operation


12/19

Accordingly, developments now sought in the

European intermodal network include the following:

1. container lines

2. more multi-modal focused strategy

3. more multi-modal orientated business.

4. A new international cooperative forum.

5. Formulation of global logistics operators and intermodalmarketing companies.

6. single European infrastructure strategy .

7. a single transport market

8. intermodality.9.relevant data.

10.Complete transparency

All these port hinterland by rail or road .such

development are global in developed and

developing countries, newly industrialized

countries and less developed countries. Eachhave a different economic profile ,but all have

the opportunity to develop their economies

through such investment .It brings

together ,through trade ,high and low -cost labormarkets of varying skills featuring industrial and

agriculture economies.

5.3Features of multi-modalism

Given below is a broad analysis of multi-

modalism:

it provides a dedicated service with each

operator or carrier committed to the schedule. It operates under NVOVV or NVOC

arrangements.

A strong feature is its provision of a regular,reilable,competitively price quality door-to-door

service with acceptable transit times.

the transport modes to the advantage of the shipper.

EDI expands on a global scale ,the multi-modal

network will move with it. The multi-modal network is very extensive and fast

growing ..

a new impetus to the role of seaports and airports

less port-to-port cargo and the accelerated growth of multi-modalism,

As indicated.

Market research is an essential ingredient to develop the system.

Multi-modalism develops new markets, improves commodityquality, raises loadability and lowers transit times,reduces packingand aids the development of consumer high tech fast-movingmarkets.

The systemfavors both the large and small shipper by involvingthe full load or consolidated consignment.

Multi-modalismhas become computer driven with high-techcommunication system embracing all aspects of the transitincluding cargo tracking.

It encourages transparency in the multi-modal supply chainbetween all parties.

5.4 multi-modalism integration

Multi-modalism is all about integrating transportnetworks to provide a value added service tousers. It is also linked to logistics andglobalization.

Detailed below are three cases of cooperationand coordination in Asia involving connectingtransport modes and providers:

A: new Delhi B: shippers` body eases consolidation

C: malaysia seaport gets air designation

5.5multi-modalism strategy

The "just-in -time"strategy together with

the role of distriparks,

distriparks ,FTZ,ICD/dry ports, air and

land-bridges ,Local Clearance procedure,and the industrial plant transplant ,will all

become established on a global basis. The

ramifications of multi-modalism willcontribution signification to raising living

standards worldwide.
