Sustainable multimodal freight transport solutions across Europe
To move your cargo from origin to destination, various modes of transport are commonly needed. We provide help by offering a complete one stop shop end-to-end multimodal service based on the most sustainable means of transport.
No matter the shape or size, we find a solution. Our dedicated door-to-door service is supported by:
The largest fleet of LNG vessels in Europe
A comprehensive rail network with block trains
Our own fleet of trucks
A dedicated pool of 45‘ High Cube Pallet Wide equipment
Make the switch – all the space of a truck, with the flexibility of a container
A container that can carry the magical number of 33 Euro pallets AND be shipped by road, rail or sea? That’ll be the 45-foot container. There is a common misconception that only trucks have the capacity for 33 Euro pallets but our huge range of 45-foot containers prove that this is just a myth. With equal capacity to a standard truck trailer and the ability to be shipped intermodally on rail and sea too, these containers are the ultimate solution to your shipping needs, allowing your cargo to take the most efficient, environmentally friendly route from door to door. So why not book on one of our vessels and make the switch!
Maximum capacity and intermodal ability
Available in both 40-foot and 45-foot versions, our High Cube Pallet Wide containers are the ultimate solution for shipping by pallet. They are specifically designed to work with 1.2m Euro pallets and can fit two of these end to end down the full length of the container thanks to their 2.45m internal width. This ensures the optimal amount of space so that no space goes to waste.
Main Benefits
33 Euro pallet capacity, equal to a standard truck trailer
Capable of being shipped by road, rail, and sea
Reduced environmental impact when used intermodally

Better ways of green transportation to reduce your carbon footprint
Our door-to-door offering ensures that we move cargo across Europe in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Extensive use of LNG and biofuel across our fleet helps to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our customers' activities. In addition to our clean shipping solutions, we offer a range of services enabling shipment of cargo net carbon neutral.
Moving cargo via the motorways of the sea brings numerous benefits compared to using trucks alone. Customers increasingly expect better sustainability in the lifecycle of their goods, our roads are increasingly congested with vehicles, and harsh winters can have a halting effect on road transportation. By shipping your cargo with our door-to-door services, you can ease all these concerns.
Better for the Environment
By shipping hundreds of containers at a time by ship, CO2 emissions can be cut by more than 50% compared to using trucks alone.
Ready for All Seasons
Our ice-class vessels are ready and available throughout the winter, no matter how cold it gets in the Baltic region.
Congestion-free
On the motorways of the sea, our vessels sail freely to their destination, no jams, no wasted energy
Less Emissions on the Road
By switching our UK truck fleet from Diesel power to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), we are producing 90% less carbon emissions.

Door-to-Door is a shipping arrangement where goods are being picked up at the door of the sender and delivered to the recipient’s door. The shipment is collected from the sender and taken directly to the recipient.
What is the difference between multimodal and intermodal?
Both intermodal and multimodal transportation involve moving cargo from origin to destination using more than one method of transport. This can be truck, rail, barge, ship, or any combination of those.
In multimodal transportation, one contract covers the entire journey. In intermodal transportation, there is a separate contract for each individual leg of the journey. This means that there is more than one responsible entity for the successful delivery of the cargo.
Are multimodal services environmentally friendly?
CMA CGM offers sustainable solutions to reduce your carbon footprint through a variety of means – dedicated train blocks, route optimization and prioritization of environmentally friendly modes of transport.
