At present, international logistics transportation is frequent, and the quantity of various goods transported is also increasing, and the main mode of transportation used in it is sea-rail combined transportation.
Sea-railway intermodal transport is the main mode of international logistics. Sea-railway intermodal transport refers to a mode of transport in which import and export goods are transported by rail through the coastal seaport and connected with ship transport, and the entire transport process can be completed only by "one declaration, one inspection and one release". It is also a special form of rail-water intermodal transport.
Sea-rail intermodal transport has a history of more than 50 years, and the proportion of sea-rail intermodal transport in mature international ports often accounts for 20% to 40%; And because both ocean transportation and railway transportation have the advantages of low cost and large volume of bulk cargo transportation, convenient connection and lower total cost, they are highly respected in the field of international transportation.
