{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Multimodal transport contract","description":"A multimodal transport contract covers the entire journey from origin to final destination under a single agreement with one operator, combining at least two modes of transport. The shipper contracts exclusively with the multimodal transport operator (MTO), who issues a single transport document and bears full liability for the whole chain, regardless of which sub-carrier causes a loss. This single-operator model eliminates the need to coordinate separate contracts at each modal interchange.
