Intermodal, Multimodal & Rail Terminals – Kombiterminals​

Efficient cargo flow depends on smooth transitions between modes of transport. At Seaport Group, we perform planning, design and implementation of intermodal (in Continental Europe called, Kombiterminal), multimodal and rail terminals that connect ports, logistics hubs and hinterland distribution networks.​

Drawing on global hands-on experience, we support both greenfield developments and the optimisation or expansion of existing facilities. Our approach balances commercial viability, operational efficiency, safety, sustainability and long-term scalability.​

Global Experience, Practical Expertise

Our consultants bring experience from terminals and transport networks across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas. We have worked with:

  • Authorities and terminal operators
  • Railway undertakings and cargo rail providers
  • Inland depot operators and logistics developers
  • Investors, funding bodies and public infrastructure agencies

This broad exposure ensures we bring practical, tested and scalable solutions, not theoretical design.

 

End-to-End Service Delivery

We support the full project lifecycle:

  • Market & demand analysis: Cargo flow projections, network roles, hinterland connectivity and modal share scenarios
  • Terminal concept development: Functional layouts, cargo-handling concepts, equipment and technology selection
  • Process and operations design: Gate workflows, yard/track planning, train loading/unloading cycles and equipment control strategies
  • Technical & civil engineering design: Track geometry, pavement and foundation design, crane and equipment specifications, utilities and systems infrastructure
  • Procurement, vendor evaluation & contract negotiation: Ensuring cost-effective, fit-for-purpose solutions with transparent performance obligations
  • Implementation, commissioning & go-live support: Onsite supervision, integration testing, staff training and operational start-up
  • Photorealistic 3D Concept Visualisation: This helps reduce project risk and accelerate decision-making by developing photorealistic 3D visualisations of the final terminal concept
