One cargo journey. Multiple transport modes.
Most shipments rely on more than one transport mode before reaching their final destination. A container may arrive by sea, continue inland by barge or rail and complete its journey by road.
At Gosselin, we connect road, rail, barge, sea and air transport into one network. Through our terminals, warehouses, inland hubs and transport assets, we manage cargo flows from origin to final delivery.
What is intermodal transportation?
Intermodal transportation combines multiple transport modes while keeping cargo in the same container or loading unit throughout the journey. Rather than relying on a single mode of transport, shipments move through the network using the most suitable mode for each stage of the route. This reduces road congestion, lowers emissions and creates more reliable transport flows.
Exceptional transport for oversized cargo
Some shipments are too large, too heavy or have dimensions that exceed standard transport equipment. For these loads, we provide transport solutions tailored to the specific requirements of the cargo.
For these movements, our Project Logistics team prepares the practical details that allow oversized cargo to travel safely and compliantly, from assessing the route to arranging the permissions and on-road support needed for execution.
Tailored logistics solutions
The right transport solution for every shipment.
By combining our terminals, warehouses, road transport, barge services, rail connections and air freight operations, we design tailored transport solutions for every shipment.
Whether cargo moves by a single mode or through a multimodal network, we select the most suitable route based on transit times, costs, capacity and operational requirements, while coordinating every stage of the journey from origin to destination.
This integrated approach supports efficient cargo flows, optimised transport costs and reliable delivery performance across Europe and beyond.
