What is container "International Multimodal Transport"? In freight transportation, there are many modes involved, including maritime transport, rail transport, air transport, river transport, postal transport, road transport, pipeline transport, land bridge transport, and international multimodal transport which combines various modes of transport.
What is Pipeline Transport
Pipeline transportation is a mode of transport that uses pipelines as a tool for long-distance conveyance of liquid and gaseous materials. It is a method specialized for transporting oil, coal, and chemical products from production sites to markets, and is a special component of the main trunk routes in an integrated transport network. Sometimes, pneumatic tubes can perform similar tasks, such as using compressed gas to transport solid containers that hold goods inside. The cost of transporting oil products by pipeline is higher than by water, but cheaper than by rail. Most pipelines are used by their owners to transport their own products. Pipeline transport offers large capacity, continuity, speed, economy, safety, reliability, stability, low investment, minimal land use, and low costs, and can also achieve automatic control. Besides being widely used for long-distance transport of oil and natural gas, it is also used for transporting ores, coal, building materials, chemicals, and grains. Pipeline transport can eliminate transshipment links of water or land transport, shorten transport cycles, reduce costs, and improve efficiency. Current development trends in pipeline transport include: increasing pipe diameters to significantly boost transport capacity; rapidly extending transport distances; and expanding transported goods from fluids like oil, natural gas, and chemical products to non-fluids such as coal and ores. China has built several crude oil pipeline routes, such as from Daqing to Qinhuangdao and from Shengli Oilfield to Nanjing.
What is Container "International Multimodal Transport"
"International Multimodal Transport" is a comprehensive and integrated transport mode that emerged and developed on the basis of container transport. It uses containers as a medium to organically combine various traditional single modes of transport—sea, land, and air—into an international continuous transport service. Advantages of container international multimodal transport include: convenient and fast shipping; cost savings and reduced transport expenses; fewer intermediate links, shorter transit times, and improved transport quality; enhanced transport organization and more rational logistics; enabling door-to-door transport, etc.
