A method in which multiple transport modes, such as railroads and trucks, ships and trucks, work together to transport cargo organically using unit load systems such as containers and pallets. This method aims to innovate logistics by combining transport modes, which have become more diverse through technological innovation, in a rational way to meet the needs of shippers while reducing loading and unloading costs, and is nicknamed fishy back (shipping and trucks) or piggy back (railroad and trucks). Effective intermodal transport requires compatibility of unit loads, the development of vehicles and ships suitable for unit loads, information networks, and the modernization of loading and unloading facilities.

鉄道とトラック,船舶とトラックなど複数の輸送手段が協同して,コンテナ,パレットなどのユニット・ロード・システムを用いて荷物を有機的に輸送する方式。積卸しのコストを低下させながら,技術革新によって多様化した各輸送手段の特徴を生かして,荷主の要望に応じた合理的な組合せを行うことによって,物流革新を目指すもので,フィッシー・バック (海運とトラック) ,ピギー・バック (鉄道とトラック) などの愛称で呼ばれている。協同一貫輸送を効果的に行うにはユニット・ロードの互換性,ユニット・ロードに適した車両や船舶,情報ネットワークなどの整備,荷役施設の近代化が要求される。
