What needs to become competitive?
Terminals (Intermodal Hubs)
•As much modes of transports (at least rail+road); adding sea or river where possible
•Facilities like: Free trade zone; logistical services; Cross-docking; Warehousing; Temperature controlled (cold chain); Heating for tank containers; Container depot; Bulk storage
•Rail connections operating at Terminal: fixed schedule; reliable; high frequency
Terminal
Intermodal advantagesReliable•Today, all parties in the supply chain use state-of-the-art technology to monitor shipments every step of the way. With real-time information, today's intermodal companies are keeping track of schedule changes and watching out for their customers' shipments so they don't have to.Efficient•Intermodal transportation provides shippers with reliable, consistent service with cost savings compared to over-the-road transportation.Safe•With high-tech lift technology and articulated intermodal railcars, damage to freight is minimized. According to the Association of American Railroads, in 2003 Class 1 railroads charted the lowest freight loss and damage statistics in more than 10 years. Environmentally Friendly•Railroads account for just nine percent of total transportation-related nitrogen oxide emissions while also alleviating highway congestion.
