Your Guide to Fast, Flexible, and Cost-Efficient Global Delivery with SHIPrq – an Official CargoWise Partner
Multimodal international parcel shipping is a global logistics method that uses two or more transportation modes, such as ocean, air, road, or rail, under a single contract and a single logistics provider. SHIPrq delivers a fully coordinated end-to-end experience, and as an official CargoWise Partner, we integrate advanced automation and visibility throughout the entire shipment lifecycle. This creates a faster, more efficient, and more cost-effective alternative to relying exclusively on air or ocean transportation.
What Is a Multimodal Shipment?
A multimodal shipment is a parcel or freight movement that uses at least two different transportation modes, such as truck and ocean or air and rail, managed under one contract and one bill of lading. Instead of coordinating multiple carriers, SHIPrq handles the full journey, connected through CargoWise-enabled workflows for unified tracking, documentation, and operational control from origin to final delivery.
What Is a Multimodal Delivery?
A multimodal delivery is a complete door-to-door shipping process overseen by a single Multimodal Transport Operator (MTO). SHIPrq serves as your MTO, managing each leg across various transportation modes while providing a single point of contact. Through our partnership with CargoWise, we deliver enhanced visibility, automated compliance, and consistent communication across every step of your international shipment.
What Is International Multimodal Transport?
International multimodal transport involves moving goods across borders using multiple transport methods, road, rail, air, and ocean, while keeping everything under one unified logistics contract. SHIPrq applies this strategy to shorten transit times, reduce shipping costs, and optimize routing for global parcel shipments. Our CargoWise-integrated systems support accurate data exchange, digitized documentation, and complete transparency throughout global movements.
How Multimodal International Parcel Shipping Works
Multimodal shipping creates the ideal balance of speed, flexibility, and cost savings by combining transportation modes strategically. Here’s how SHIPrq manages your shipment from start to finish:
1. Initial Transport (Pickup)- A local carrier, typically a truck, collects your parcel and transports it to a regional or national hub.
2. International Transit- Your shipment moves internationally via the most efficient mode for your needs, whether air, ocean, rail, or a hybrid solution.
3. Destination Inland Transport- After arriving in the destination country, a domestic transport mode (truck, rail, or courier network) carries the parcel to its final destination.
4. End-to-End Coordination by SHIPrq
SHIPrq manages every step with a unified, tech-enabled framework powered by CargoWise integration, including:
- Routing and planning
- Customs documentation and compliance
- Real-time tracking and data visibility
- Issue resolution and customer support
This streamlined approach reduces operational friction and ensures predictable delivery performance.
