Intermodal transport combines the accessibility of inland transport modes with the long-haul capabilities of ocean shipping. Intermodal transport can be defined as the movement of goods in one and the same loading unit that uses successively several modes of transport without handling the goods themselves in changing transport modes. The rise of intermodal transport has resulted in dramatic changes in the pattern of freight transport. There is a contrast between the standardization of ocean transport services and that established on land. Regional differences characterizing Asia, Europe, and North America include geographical differences, differences in economic development, and differences in transport infrastructure. As an integrated transport system, intermodal freight transport consists of various elements. This chapter uses Hong Kong as a case to illustrate the INTERMODAL model to identify the elements of an intermodal transport system. The key elements of an intermodal transport system include infrastructure, new technology, transport operators, the external business environment, regional location, management of containers, operations of container terminals, deregulation, availability of logistics services, and logistics security.
