Growth of Containers

Intermodal containerisation has revolutionised the world freight industry and is the major force behind the huge expansion of global logistics.

It involves moving cargo using ISO-standard containers which can be easily loaded onto trucks, railway wagons and container ships with their load intact, delivering major cost, security and environmental benefits in the process.

Intermodal containerisation also makes a major contribution to the sustainability policies of manufacturing companies especially those whose production processes are carbon intensive.

Intermodal containerisation can help reduce their carbon footprint by ensuring their goods always deploy the most environmentally friendly mode of transport.

InterBulk is a major player in this intensely competitive sector of national and international trade. We specialise in the transportation, storage and distribution dry and liquid bulk cargoes for the chemical, food and other industries.

InterBulk’s vision is to create a global platform capable of providing a full range of intermodal solutions for any liquid, powder or granulated material anywhere in the world.

Many of our clients, like those in the cement manufacturing and chemical industries place huge value on a transport system that contributes to their carbon reduction policies.

The other key benefits of intermodal containerisation include:

Absolute security of the cargo in ISO-Tanks or specialised ISO-Containers which remain intact from pick-up point to final destination.

The economic benefit of eliminating the labour costs of transferring cargo from one form of modal transport to another.

The storage capability of ISO-Containers, anywhere along the transport route, or in strategic storage applications to maintain supply chain integrity.

Reduced transit times which minimise inventory costs and enhance cash flow.
