Go the Distance with Efficiency and Reliability

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.

When is rail a better option than road transport?

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.

What is intermodal transportation?

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.

How does rail transport reduce carbon emissions?

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.

My facility doesn't have direct rail access. Can I still use this service?

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.

Can you handle customs for cross-border rail shipments?

Yes. Our Custom Clearance experts work with our rail logistics team to manage all documentation and ensure smooth, compliant border crossings for international shipments.
