Transload
Definition: To transfer cargo from marine containers to domestic trailers or containers in Vancouver.
Benefit: Saves money all around, shaves logistics costs, takes advantage of market shifts.
Ocean carriers are encouraging transloading; eager to put containers back into service, they're offering reduced rates to shippers willing to stop containers in Vancouver. Ocean carriers now surcharge up to an additional $2100 to move marine containers intact to central Canada.
Let us help you calculate the cost savings: Is the cargo destined to multiple locations, can the merchandise go directly to the customer or store, we help you reduce overall transit times and inventory carrying costs.
For example: An importer who ships containers directly to Toronto, may have to ship 20% to 30% of the merchandise back to Western Canada and would most certainly benefit from a transload program.
