Description

Intermodal freight transportation involves the movement of goods by more than one form of carrier during a single journey. Given the importance of intermodal transportation and the role that containerization plays in the modern economy, Alberta Transportation initiated this research study to investigate the effectiveness of the system for cargo movement to and from Alberta. The study comprised an extensive structured interview component with both system providers and system users conducted over a six-month period from spring to late fall of 2003. System providers included the West Coast ports, port container terminals, international steamship companies, railways, trucking companies, airlines and air carriers. System users included a cross section of Alberta businesses that import and export goods, as well as a number of third parties.
