JBM Europe multimodal program combines Sea+Air shipping services for savings over straight airfreight shipments, all while maintaining reasonable transit times. Combining Sea+Air shipping service can also help you minimize destination warehouse charges. All multimodal shipments stay integrated within our global network, systems, and operational procedures, and receive Expeditors’ support from start to finish.
JBM Europe specializes in multimodal transport offering services that far exceed those of our competitors.The massive growth in containerization which introduced the modern concept of Multimodal Transport has shifted the cargo delivery system from “port-to-port” to “door-to-door”. Simply, Multimodal Transport can be viewed as “the chain that interconnects different links or modes of transport -air, sea, and inland- into one complete process that ensures an efficient and cost-effective door-to-door movement of goods under the responsibility of a single transport operator, known as a Multimodal Transport Operator (MTO), on one transport document”.
Better transit time and performance
Transit times for multimodal service fall between normal air and ocean shipments on the same lane, with time savings up to 50 percent over an ocean transit. Selecting routes act as capacity buffers and offer transit times similar to air transit but perform much better thanks to space availability.
Simplified shipment documentation
Sea+Air services at JBM Europe move on a single transport document and a single per-kilo rate covers all transportation and trans-shipment costs.
