Cost-effective for high-volume shipments over long distances
When it comes to moving large volumes of goods over extensive distances, rail haulage stands out as a superior logistics solution. Rail freight is the workhorse of the supply chain, offering unmatched efficiency for bulk commodities and a greener alternative to long-haul road transport. At Globelink, we integrate a robust rail network into our services to provide you with a cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable way to transport your cargo.
By shifting long-haul freight from road to rail, businesses can significantly reduce their carbon footprint, bypass highway congestion, and benefit from predictable, scheduled transit times. Let us show you how our rail solutions can form a strategic and powerful component of your end-to-end logistics strategy.
Cost-effective long-distance transport, environmental sustainability and enhanced reliability for your cargo.
Cost-effective for high-volume shipments over long distances
Up to 76% fewer carbon emissions than road transport
Fixed schedules providing reliable and predictable transit times
Enhanced safety and security with reduced handling requirements
Rail is typically superior for high-volume, heavy or bulk shipments traveling over long distances (e.g., over 500 miles). For shorter journeys or door-to-door delivery of smaller shipments, road transport offers more flexibility.
Intermodal transport uses a single container to move cargo across different modes—ship, rail and truck—without the goods themselves being handled. This enhances efficiency, reduces costs and improves security.
Trains are vastly more fuel-efficient than trucks. On average, a train can move one ton of freight nearly 500 miles on a single gallon of fuel, resulting in significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions per ton-mile.
Absolutely. Our intermodal service uses our Road Haulage network to transport goods from your facility to the nearest rail terminal and from destination terminal to final delivery point.
