Multimodal Transportation is a form of transportation made by using more than one type of transportation with different transportation vehicles or units. In multimodal transportation, the cargoes continue on their way with different transportation routes by being transferred from the container they are in to another container. In the multimodal transport system, only one transport contract is made for all the transport routes used between the loading and destination points. In multimodal transportation, the entire journey is not a process consisting of separate stages, but an integrated system.
