Warehousing & Transloading

Container freight station services at the Vancouver gateway: we transload your ocean container into trailers or domestic containers, or open it, sort, palletize and store the cargo — then send it on by truck, rail or LTL.

Transloading

Transloading at the Vancouver Gateway

Your ocean container is emptied at the gateway and its cargo reloaded into 53-foot trailers or domestic containers for the trip inland. The ocean box goes back to the carrier sooner, and your freight travels on domestic equipment.

Going inland

Freight bound for the Prairies, Ontario or Quebec continues in domestic trailers or containers instead of the ocean box.

Beating the free-time clock

The ocean container is emptied and returned at the gateway, which helps keep detention in check.

Several destinations

One container reloaded onto separate trailers for different customers, stores or cities.

Onward across the border

Reloaded for Canada–US trucking, with the trip coordinated alongside your US customs broker.
