This situation creates a different transport demand such as
longer inland transport distance, shorter lead-time with more reliable deliveries, new
distribution network based on a reduction in the size and weight of shipment and more
frequent shipments and shipment tracking. With the current growth of world trade, the
need for more efficient regional intermodal movement and premium package services
are necessary to integrate interprovincial with international trade and also to make the
best use of available modal transport operations.
