Intermodal Transport

Because Tailormade Logistics is located inside Ghent’s port area, we can easily make use of the many facilities provided in that area. Also for intermodal solutions, Tailormade logistics is situated in a strategically favourable way. On our main traffic lanes, we have daily departures to:

• BENELUX - ITALY

BENELUX - ITALY

Port of Ghent provides a daily train service from Ghent to the North Italian city Mortara (Milano). For Ghent port, this is the first international container shuttle by rail. This container shuttle runs 6 times a week in both directions with a capacity of about 80 TEU. With over 10 fixed daily reservations, Tailormade Logistics is one of the major users of this cheap, flexible and revolutionary solution.

BENELUX - FRANCE

Also daily departures from Ghent to Lyon by rail.

BENELUX - SCANDINAVIA

In addition to various railway solutions, Tailormade Logistics also makes use of ferry links to Scandinavia. With six departures per week to Gothenburg (Sweden), TML makes daily use of this facility. This container terminal, located 3 kilometres from TML headquarters, is the perfect solution for TML, in order to provide their Scandinavian customers the best service. After France and Italy, Sweden is one of the main markets for Tailormade Logistics. Daily departures to the north are common.

Container specifications

Depending on the application, there are various solutions for achieving optimal inter-modal transport. For example, short-sea shipping requires strong watertight construction, while some distribution on the other hand benefits from a box that can be loaded from the side. At Tailormade Logistics, a wide range of container types (20ft/40ft/45ft HC/45ft HC) is available:

• DRY CONTAINERS
• CURTAIN-SIDE CONTAINERS
• HANGING-GARMENT CONTAINERS
• OPEN-TOP CONTAINERS
