The logistics sector has an important role in increasing competitiveness and strengthening the national economy. However, the performance of Indonesia's logistics system still needs to be improved. To improve this performance, the integration between the national logistics system and multimodal transportation is an urgent matter. This is in view of the important role of multimodal transportation in supporting the performance of the national logistics system. Therefore, this article aims to discuss the urgency of integrating the national logistics system with multimodal transportation in order to increase competitiveness and strengthen the national economy. This study uses a qualitative approach. Data were collected through a literature review from various sources. Data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques. The results show that the performance of the national logistics system that is oriented to synchronization, integration, and collaboration to improve competitiveness needs to be supported by multimodal transportation. The need for adequate maritime connectivity, infrastructure, and information and communication technology in distributing goods in Indonesia makes multimodal transportation meet its urgency to support the performance of the national logistics system. However, in its implementation, multimodal transportation still faces challenges in the form of problems in the integration of infrastructure networks, integration of service networks, as well as coaching and development of multimodal businesses.
