FIATA Releases Multimodal Transport Corridors Handbook

FIATA, the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations, has released a new practical user handbook focused on multimodal transport corridors. This resource is designed to provide guidance and best practices for managing complex, multi-leg shipments across different modes of transportation. The handbook addresses a growing need in the industry to standardize approaches and improve coordination across ocean, air, rail, and road freight networks.

For supply chain professionals, this handbook represents an important standardization effort that can reduce operational friction when coordinating shipments across multiple transport modes. By providing practical frameworks and best practices, the resource helps companies optimize route selection, reduce delays at modal interchange points, and improve overall supply chain visibility. The timing is particularly relevant as global supply chains continue to recover and organizations seek efficiency gains through better process standardization.

The release underscores the industry's ongoing commitment to developing standardized practices that enable smoother cross-border and cross-modal operations. Organizations managing complex international shipments should consider incorporating these guidelines into their procurement and logistics processes.
