Intermodal operators maintain fixed schedules for their connections between transport hubs, allowing for predictable departure and arrival times. These timetables can be integrated into shipping orders, enabling precise planning of multimodal transport chains across rail, ferry, and other transportation modes.
Navigate to RESOURCES menu and 'Intermodal operators' submenu
Locate the intermodal operator to update the connection to.
Or Click 'Add Intermodal operator' to a new resource
Click on the operator to open the operator page.
If a Connection Timetable already exists it will show in the 'Intermodal Connections' panel.
Click the Pencil icon to update an existing schedule
Click 'Add intermodal connection' to add a new connection
Add a new connection:
Name - This should be named to identify the connection route
Modality - Ferry / Rail
Departure Station / Arrival Station
These should be in the Qargo Database, but if the location is missing use the search location / database options to find and add the location.
Please contact support if the intermodal operator is not to be found in the list of operators.
Add a timetable to a connection:
🧰 Multiple timetables can be added, each for a specific departure / arrival time.
Click 'Add time table'.
For each timetable, configure:
Days of the week.
Recurrence: Weekly (default) or Bi-weekly. Bi-weekly departures occur every other week.
Start date (Bi-weekly only): pick any date in the week the pattern should begin. Qargo uses the Monday of that week as the anchor, and the trip date picker only shows valid departure dates.
Departure / Arrival times: the scheduled sailing times.
Closing date (hours before departure): how many hours before scheduled departure the freight needs to be arrived.
Transit duration (days): days needed for the transit (0 is acceptable).
If additional schedules are required, click 'Add Time table' to add additional schedules.
The routes are created as one way any return routes will need to be added individually.
Update Existing Connection
Where a connection already exists, it is possible to update clicking on the Pencil Icon next to the specific connection.
Edit any details, including timetables and click SAVE.
Refresh the page to show the new / updated connection details.
