The internationalization of business has led to an increasing and more complex demand for goods and services, which has consequently led to the need for the development of efficient and economical transport of goods and cargo. Multimodal transportation involves the use of two or more modes of transport to deliver goods to their final destination. In this type of transport, it is important to effectively manage every step to avoid loss, breakage or theft of goods and cargo, so sealed containers are most often used to facilitate the transshipment of goods and cargo between two different means of transport. Effective risk management is also important to reduce or minimize risks and ensure the success of the multimodal transportation process. The research carried out for the purposes of this thesis is to determine the importance of management competencies in multimodal transport in the successful implementation of the multimodal transport process and risk management among logistics experts in the Republic of Croatia. The research results indicate that, in addition to providing multimodal transportation services, it is crucial to manage risks to ensure that the multimodal transportation process proceeds swiftly and efficiently while mitigating or avoiding risks. This requires continuous education and training of these experts, and the final result is greater efficiency of the multimodal transport process and risk management in multimodal transport in the Republic of Croatia.
