Successful Projects

2005 European Intermodal Transport Award Goes to  UN Ro-Ro Turkey

The process developed in the present Intermodal Line (Pendik/Ambarlı/Çe_me -Trieste) and is implemented currently, is Short Sea Shipping plus Combined Transport. Not only, it is carried out in a pure intermodal environment, it encompasses various logistical techniques and tools which makes it unique on its own. In this context, it is essentially a package deal where goods are transported from one end (point of departure) to the other (point of destination), making use of different transport modalities without the need for handling of the goods themselves.
