Summary
Summary
Summary
Northumberland GmbH offers comprehensive Multimodal and Intermodal Transport solutions, combining efficiency, flexibility, and reliability for your cargo. These services enable transport using multiple modes of transportation under a single contract, including road, rail, and inland waterways.
Multimodal transport allows seamless coordination across several transport modes—trucks, trains, or barges—managed by Northumberland GmbH under a single transport agreement.
Intermodal transport focuses on the movement of standard units (containers or swap bodies) across different transport modes without unloading the cargo itself, ensuring speed and security.
Our Hamburg-based operations leverage extensive networks with ports, inland terminals, rail operators, and barge services, allowing us to offer efficient door-to-door solutions across Europe. Whether it’s container shipments, project cargo, or complex logistics chains, Northumberland GmbH ensures optimized routes, reliable transit times, and full customs compliance.
By combining traditional road transport with rail and river barge options, we provide environmentally friendly and cost-efficient alternatives, reducing handling risks while maintaining high service standards. Our team plans each route carefully, considering cargo type, dimensions, and scheduling requirements to provide the most reliable and flexible transport solutions.

Optimised Transport Flow
Optimised Transport Flow
We integrate road, rail, and inland waterway transport into one efficient chain to reduce delays and improve routing. By managing all multimodal legs under a single agreement, we streamline container, project, or complex cargo movements. This approach creates faster coordination, stronger reliability, and a smoother end to end logistics process.

Lower Handling Risk
Lower Handling Risk
Intermodal units move across different modes without unloading the cargo, which reduces handling and exposure to damage. This improves safety and keeps shipments secure across trucks, trains, and barges. Combined with our planning and compliance support, this creates a stable and low risk method for sensitive or high value freight.

Cost and Eco Efficiency
Cost and Eco Efficiency
Multimodal planning lowers costs by shifting suitable freight away from road only transport. Rail and river barge options reduce fuel use and cut carbon emissions, supporting environmental goals while maintaining dependable service. This balanced model keeps expenses predictable and improves the sustainability of your supply chain.
