term
multimodal transport
definition

carriage of goods by at least two different modes of transport.

NOTE In contrast, intermodal transport implies changing from mode to another using the same form of loading unit.

Multimodal transport implies that either there is more than one modal shift, or that loads can be broken into partial loads as part of a modal change.

term
intermodal transport
definition

movement of goods in one or more loading unit(s) or vehicle(s) which uses successively several modes of transport without handling of the goods themselves when changing modes
