Multi Modal freight – Overview

What is it?

Multimodal transport (or combined transport) is the transport of goods made from a single contract, plus with fewer means of transport; In this case, the carrier with whom the contract is carried out is responsible for all the means of transport, even if carried out by the total routing is carried out with the help of other companies. The carrier is not the master key to possess all the vehicles used, which is the most frequent case. Part of the routing agrees on the sub-course. The carrier responsible for all cargo is designated as MTO.

Article 1.1. The United Nations Convention on International Multimodal Transport of Goods (Geneva, 24 May 1980) (International Multimodal Transport) means the carriage of goods by less than less cheap Two different modes of transport on a multimodal transport contract in a country where the goods are taken over by the multimodal transport operator in a designated place of country “.

How it works?

DocShipper have become increasingly important players: they have ceased their unique mission of shippers, accepting greater responsibilities as so much on the market. The main shipping companies have also switched to multimodal freight services;

Now, we provide customers with door-to-door service. The carrier shall return the goods to the address specified by the consignor (his premises or his domicile, general inland) to the address of the consignee (usually also inland). Freight forwarders not in possession of a ship (even if the carriage includes a portion of sea transport) are designated as non-ship carriers (NVOCs)

Multimodal transport was developed as part of the “Container Revolution” of the 1960s; As of 2019, public transport is by far the most popular international expedition. However, it is also important to remember that multimodal transport is different from container transport: indeed, multimodal transport is feasible without a container. MTO, which works directly with the customer, guarantees that its products are delivered with the greatest efficiency.

Legal aspect

From a purely legal point of view, multimodal transport has some shortcomings. Unimodal transport (one transport) is currently controlled by incoterms, which are international and mandatory conventions. These agreements provide different bases and limits of liability for the carrier.

Since 2011, the solution at this stage is the principle of “network”. According to this, the different conventions remain the same. The liability of the carrier is defined according to the violation of the contract (for example, the goods have been lost or damaged during transport). However, problems occur and the contract violation is repeated several times.

Difference between intermodal and multimodal shipment

First, let’s start with some definitions:

• Multimodal transport (also called combined transport) consists of carrying goods under one contract, but this transport will be carried out with minimum two different ways of transport; From a legal point of view, the carrier is responsible for all the transport, whether by rail, sea, or road, for example. The carrier must not possess all means of transport, but in general it does not; Transport is often handled by sub-carriers (the actual carriers legally speaking). The carrier which has the responsibility for the entire transport operation acts as a MTO (multimodal transport operator).
• Intermodal freight transport is defined as the transport of goods in an intermodal container or vehicle, while using several modes of transport (rail, ship and lorry), without any handling of cargo – even when changing modes of transport. This method is economical in terms of cargo management, which improves cargo security, reduces damage and losses, and also reduces transport time. The main advantage for inter-continental use is mainly the reduction of road transport costs. For road transport over shorter journey can be offset by reduced times.

How make a choice? What is the difference?

The main difference between those modes is the number of contracts that the sender possesses with different service suppliers.

• In a multimodal consignment, the consignor has a transport contract covering all modes of transport from departure to arrival, whether it is a port to port, port to port or from door to door. This is equivalent to a carrier for a single trip. This contract of carriage shall be borne by a carrier, whether it be a steamship line or an international freight forwarder / NVOCC. The steamship / shipping carrier or the international freight forwarder / NVOCC publish a intermodal or a multimodal transport bill of lading.

Advantages: The sender can consider the carrier as the sole responsible for transport in the event of a problem, up-to-date and follow-up updates come from the carrier and, as a result, delivery times can be satisfied.

• In an intermodal shipment, the shipper has several contracts, for example, he may have a contract with a freight forwarder or a shipping carrier, another with a trucker or trucker and a rail carrier in one country of origin and another with a truck driver or truck driver and a carrier in the country of destination. The carrier shall issue a port-to-port invoice and each additional carrier providing its services for carriage shall issue its own shipping document such as an invoice for domestic transport or rail to the consignor.

Advantages: It is possible to choose your own carriers based on the price or service for each stage of the shipment, the possibility to stop the shipment at some point for any reason, because you control each part with more agility for the selection if there are problems of space or equipment with carriers.

INTERNATIONAL IMPORT/EXPORT OPTIONS: DOOR TO DOOR VS. DOOR TO PORT

Don’t be confuse between CIF, DAT and DAP Incoterms

Many importers/exporters in South-East Asia choose to require shippers’ services for part of the transportation, or even for the full process.

We can identify two main solutions when it comes to importations:

1. DAP (or DAT) : The exporter/seller is in charge of the freight transportation from door-to-door. The importer is only responsible for customs clearance, duties, and taxes before the shipment is released for delivery. The difference between DAT and DAP is the place of delivery, DAT means Delivery At Terminal which could be a port or airport.
2. CFR (or CIF) : The exporter/seller is in charge of the freight transportation from door-to-port/airport. The importer is responsible for customs clearance, duties, taxes before the shipment is released for delivery, and transportation from port of arrival to door. The difference between CIF and CFR is the Insurance which is included in the CIF Incoterm.

We will analyze and compare in this article only 2 of them: CFR and DAP. Let’s see in detail what are the pros and cons of each solution mentioned before.

DAP: Delivery at place

The first solution in which the shipper provides a door-to-door service may be perceived as the best one for the importer, as he would just have to handle customs clearance, duties and taxes.

Nevertheless, after the goods are cleared by the customs, the shipper takes the control of the shipment back to set up the delivery. At this moment of the supply chain, we often witness important delays, because the importer has no more control on the delivery, or on which company is going to handle it.

About ocean shipments, often the shipper will book the door-to-door service with the same shipping line that set up the freight. When the customs clearance is done, the ocean line will basically assign a trucking company to proceed to the delivery.

This solution implies involving too many parties, which can lead to mistakes, misunderstandings, unmet deadlines, etc. Communication is a lot more complicated and it can often lead to delays. This can be a cost-effective option though, as the rates are often cheaper when booked entirely from door to door. However, by choosing this option, you are giving up a lot of control over the delivery process.

CFR: Cost and freight

The other solution to consider is to book your freight transportation from door-to-port or airport.

After the freight is released from customs clearance, the importer looks out for the best transportation company and routing for delivery to door alongside customs brokers.

They can use their working networks to find the best solution for the importer, providing both efficient routes and cost-efficiency. The main mission of the customs broker is to fully understand both the operating procedures and the needs and wants of the importer.

At SIAM Shipping and more generally DocShipper, we collaborate with our customers to identify their needs and expectations, on a case by case basis.  Every shipment we are in charge of is routed according to these needs to avoid unexpected costs and delays.

The door-to-port solution implies greater control, less parties involved, better communication, anticipated delays, and direct link between importer and custom broker. The importer can have a better control of the shipment, allowing to better plan the process and reduce risks.

The door-to-door service in your business model

Why door to door shipping can help you growing your business?

Products sold by door-to-door are generally of the same type as those that can be bought in the shop with reduced prices (balances, promotions).

The products with the largest market share are cleaning supplies and equipment, household appliances, press subscriptions and home improvement products.

As of 2018, the marketing model of many companies (using a standard marketing model) has changed, notably through the development of IT. Dozens of door-to-door products are now increasingly available: tickets for events, sports ticket subscriptions, subscriptions to a home television service or fiber Internet services.
