Abstract:
As a kind of senior organization form, multimodal transport can integrate the advantages of various modes of transport。By means of seamless linking, Multimodal transport is able to improve efficiency and quality and meet the requirement of individual needs in the transportation, which makes it important in the environment of global competition. After nearly four decades of construction and development, China has acquired remarkable achievements in multimodal transport. However, there still exists great gap between developed countries. Currently, the relationship between international multimodal transport and the field of manufacture is becoming increasingly close, International multimodal transport network has become the core resource and business of shipping companies have tried to continually penetrate to the land. Under this kind of situation, in order to promote the development of multimodal transport in china, we must actively foster operators of large-scale international multim
odal transport business. Meanwhile, we need to construct international multimodal transport network, improve the management structure and eliminate institutional obstacles to development. We should make a breakthrough in the combination of sea and railway transport and try to promote the development of network between land and sea transport. Great efforts should be made to accelerate the application of advanced information technology in the business of international multimodal transport.
