Micro-Land Bridge
A Micro-Land Bridge is an intermodal movement in which the shipment is moved from a foreign country to the U.S. by water and then moved across the U.S. by railroad to an interior, non-port city, or vice versa for exports from a non-port city.
Pros:
- Reduced drayage costs.
- Increased efficiency.
- Faster transit times.
Cons:
- Infrastructure is needed to support this type of movement.
- It can be difficult to coordinate different modes of transportation.
The Micro-Land Bridge is a great option for logistics companies that are looking to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
