Intermodal Road-Sea Freight
Road and sea freight solutions using ferry connections to Italy and Greece, supporting selected loads up to 29 tonnes and reducing reliance on road-only transport.
Optimal routes by road and sea across Europe.
This approach can reduce road mileage, avoid certain driving restrictions, improve flexibility and support payloads up to 29 tonnes where applicable. Our team coordinates the road legs, ferry booking, timing and documentation so the shipment moves from collection to final delivery.
Our forwarding network covers strategic ports and commercial hubs across Southern and Western Europe. Optimised routes reduce transport costs and carbon footprint, offering a sustainable alternative to road-only haulage.
Why choose combined transport?
No driving bans
Maritime transport is exempt from weekend and night-time driving bans and remains independent of road traffic. This means uninterrupted cargo movement without forced stops, reducing overall transit time.
Higher permissible weight
Combined transport allows cargo weights of up to 29 tonnes. This reduces loading and unloading cycles, cuts administrative overhead, and significantly lowers total transport costs.
Greater flexibility
Combines the advantages of multiple transport modes (road and sea) into a single integrated scheme. Allows easy rerouting when conditions change and optimises timelines and costs based on capacity and seasonality.
Lower costs
Maritime transport is considerably more economical per tonne-kilometre compared to road-only haulage, especially on long routes to Italy, Germany, and Austria. It reduces fuel, toll, and road-tax expenses.
Lower carbon footprint
Maritime transport generates up to 3-4 times fewer CO2 emissions per tonne of cargo compared to road haulage. It enables companies to meet European sustainability requirements and improve their environmental profile.
Lower cargo risk
Cargo spends less time in road conditions, which reduces exposure to vibrations and accident risks. Ro-Ro ferry connections between Bulgaria, Greece, and Italy provide a controlled environment during the sea leg.
