Multimodal Transport
Balance shipping speed and cost
Long ocean trips give you the lowest cost, but slow down your supply chain and cash cycle. Dimerco offers sea-air, air-sea, and road-rail solutions to help you achieve the right balance of shipping cost and speed.

Cheaper

in Action
Tech company avoids costly air freight leg with sea-air solution from Indonesia
From its factory in Batam, Indonesia, a Taiwanese electronics company ships to Los Angeles Airport (LAX). Often, product must be shipped quickly. However, air freight from Batam to the nearest international airport in Singapore is sporadic and costly. Dimerco recommended a sea-air solution to save both time and money. Freight travels via a short ocean voyage to Singapore, which is a free port so customs duties are avoided. Based on demand at the time, the freight may ship via ocean or air to Southern California, with Dimerco handling both.
