To deliver medical cargo over long distances, multimodal logistics is increasingly being used – a combination of several modes of transport to ensure maximum speed and reliability.
What is multimodal logistics
Multimodal transportation is the delivery of cargo using two or more modes of transport (for example, aviation + road transport) under the control of one logistics operator.
In the medical sector, multimodal logistics makes it possible to quickly deliver vaccines, biomaterials, medical products and equipment anywhere in the world.
Advantages of multimodal logistics for medicine
1. Delivery speed.
The combination of air transportation and road transport can significantly reduce delivery times.
2. Continuity of the cold chain.
Coordination of all stages allows you to maintain a constant temperature without failures.
3. Flexibility of routes.
You can quickly adapt the supply chain in case of changes in the market or force majeure.
4. Centralized control.
One operator is responsible for the entire cargo route.
Features of multimodal logistics for medical cargo
- Availability of specialized infrastructure at airports and warehouses.
- Use of vehicles with refrigeration equipment.
- Strict control of transit operations and minimization of transfer times.
- High standards of sanitization.
Conclusion
Multimodal logistics is a reliable and efficient way to deliver medical goods over long distances, ensuring uninterrupted supply and compliance with all quality requirements.
