Multimodal freight transport is defined as cargo delivery under a single contract, but performed with at least two different means of transport. The multimodal transport operator enters into a contract with the client as a single carrier in his own name even though transportation is performed by several different carriers and is liable for the entire carriage subject to network system when standard terms and conditions for different modes of transport are applicable.
