Intermodal/Ports
Overview
Moving shipping containers from a major port to multiple destinations is a complex endeavor. Competition from other ports creates an imperative: The transfer of containers and cars must be timely, efficient, and safe, or shippers will choose another port with more reliable operations. It’s up to the intermodal rail operator to reduce the dwell time between the containers’ arrival at the port and their placement on a departure train.
