Global & Multimodal Solutions

Connecting rail, road and sea into one continuous transport chain.

Several modes, one chain

Is it a fit

Several modes, one coordinated process

Worldwide

Beyond Eurasia. Continuous transport solutions with BOL.

We combine our Eurasian rail and sea products with other world regions. Suitable connections, transshipments and door-to-door services open up more complex destinations; the transport chain is agreed per request.

01

Far East & South-East Asia

Sea and land connections link Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Myanmar and other markets with our Eurasian core offer.

02

North & South America

For Canada, the USA, Mexico and Brazil, we check the combination of ocean freight, our core network and suitable pre- and on-carriage.

03

Africa

Connections to and from Africa are planned individually with suitable sea and land links. Countries, gateways and scope are confirmed in the specific quotation.

Sample chains

How your market can be connected

  1. Far East → China → Europe

    A sea connection from Japan or South Korea can be combined with a suitable China–Europe rail product and European delivery. The right gateway, the handover to the train and aligned documents and departures are decisive.

  2. Eurasia → seaport → overseas

    A Eurasian pre-carriage can be combined via a suitable port gateway with an ocean connection to North or South America. We check whether this beats alternative sea routes for your shipment.

  3. Seaport → inland market → consignee

    For complex destinations in Africa or South-East Asia we look at port access, onward transport and local handovers together. Beyond the main leg, accessibility, transshipments and the desired delivery window also shape the solution.

Comparing the complete chain

We look at total transit including connections, transport and handling costs, equipment and the agreed door-to-door scope. The examples show combinable concepts; specific gateways, transit times and departures are checked per route.

    You receive specific feedback on route, possible departure, transit time, included services and open points. For urgent shipments, tell us the latest delivery date so we can prioritise available alternatives.

  3. 03

    Booking and coordination

    After your confirmation we coordinate the agreed transport legs. Implementation depends on capacity, documents and the next usable departure.
