Inland transport from the seaport is the land leg of a shipment running from the discharge port to the consignee's final destination – the closing segment of the intermodal freight chain after ocean carriage. It covers container pickup at the terminal, subsequent road or rail haulage, and any interim warehousing. As the counterpart to pre-carriage on the shipper's side, it completes the supply chain on the receiving end. In freight quotations, this segment typically appears as a separate line item. Under Incoterms such as CIF or CFR, the seller's transport responsibility ends at the destination port, leaving the buyer to arrange and fund the inland leg independently. Freight forwarders price this service based on distance, mode, and the specific port's operational characteristics.
