Multi and intermodal freight transportation refers to moving loads by a sequence of transportation modes linked by mode-to-mode transfers performed at intermodal terminals, generally without directly handling the goods. Such transportation systems and the carriers that provide the associated services are often organized according to consolidation principles. Consolidation of the shipments of different shippers into the same vehicles and of several vehicles into blocks (railroads) and convoys (rail, road and barge trains).
