Abstract (en)

Nowadays, when market competition and tendencies of globalisation prevails, the concept of integrated logistics emerged. This concept is based on the consolidation of various actors involved in the system of goods delivery, in order to assure continuous goods flows from their origin to consumption places. The same goal is expressed in the definition of intermodal transport. However, intermodal chains cannot be implemented without establishment of proper terminals that make possible coupling of different transport modes into single transportation chain. This article examines significance of logistics centres operating on intermodal base in order to assure implementation of intermodal services on the territory of Lithuania.
