Intermodal Route Comparison
Compare Ro-Ro, rail and sea alternatives to road by transit time, distance and CO₂.

Quick answer
The LogiFindex intermodal comparison shows, for a shipment from Türkiye to Europe, the most sensible alternatives to an all-road route: Ro-Ro via Pendik-Trieste or Yalova-Sète, Ro-Ro combined with the Trieste-Cologne or Trieste-Munich trains, and sea containers to the nearest European port. For each option you see door-to-door days, the road / sea / rail distance split, CO₂ and warnings for dangerous goods, reefer, heavy and out-of-gauge cargo. Prices are not shown - you get them as carrier quotes on your listing.
What the comparison shows
- Door-to-door time - including pre- and on-carriage, port handling and waiting for the next sailing.
- Distance split - how much of the route is road, sea and rail.
- CO₂ - per option, compared with all-road. Ro-Ro is not automatically lower: ferries can emit more per tonne-km than a full truck; sea containers are usually far lower.
- Cargo warnings - ADR, reefer, heavy and out-of-gauge cargo have restrictions on ships and combined rail.
When an alternative makes sense
| Lane | Typical sensible alternative |
|---|---|
| Türkiye → Northern Italy | Ro-Ro Pendik → Trieste + short road leg |
| Türkiye → Spain / Southern France | Ro-Ro Yalova → Sète + short road leg |
| Türkiye → Western Germany / Benelux | Ro-Ro to Trieste + Trieste-Cologne train |
| Türkiye → Bulgaria / Romania | Road - the lane is too short for an alternative |

Frequently asked questions
Is the intermodal comparison free?
+
Yes. Without an account you get one comparison per day on each computer or phone; it renews at midnight (Türkiye time).
Why are there no prices?
+
Ro-Ro and rail prices are quoted per shipment and change often. Publish your load on LogiFindex to receive real quotes from carriers.
Is Ro-Ro always greener than road?
+
No. With GLEC default values a ferry can emit more CO₂ per tonne-km than a full truck. Ro-Ro mainly reduces road kilometres, border crossings and driver hours; sea containers usually have the lowest CO₂.
How accurate are the times?
+
They are indicative ranges built from operator sailing frequencies and typical road speeds. Confirm with your carrier before booking.
