Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. (TSX:CP, NYSE:CP)聽and shipping line Maersk have reached an agreement to build and operate a world-class transload and distribution facility in 麻豆传媒映画to expand both companies鈥� supply chain options.
The CP transload facility will be an expansion of CP鈥檚 existing 麻豆传媒映画intermodal facility and benefit from turnkey rail infrastructure, Maersk said.
Maersk said the transload facility is designed to give customers access to a multi-commodity transload facility relying on the substantial use of rail instead of truck in the 麻豆传媒映画market, as CP will shuttle containers to and from port terminals via rail.
鈥淐P鈥檚 unique landholdings in 麻豆传媒映画enable us to bring to market a first-of-its-kind transload facility that creates tremendous opportunity for sustainable growth,鈥� CP president Keith Creel said. 鈥淭ogether with Maersk, the global shipping leader, we will transform intermodal transportation in North America.鈥澛�
Maersk Canada president Omar Shamsie said the agreement creates for more agile supply chain options and capacity to and from 麻豆传媒映画鈥� especially as e-commerce demands further drive shipping needs.
Shamsie said 麻豆传媒映画warehouse space has been tight in 2020, putting pressure on supply chain performance.
鈥淲e applied our global integrator strategy to simplify the current situation and create more end-to-end supply chain solutions by reducing multi-modal handoffs,鈥� Shamise said. 鈥淲e can now offer more responsiveness to the pace of business by giving supply chain leaders more control of order timing/fulfillment through inland routing flexibility, better velocity gained from one day savings of rail versus truck and cost savings through seamless transload operations into domestic 53-foot trailers.鈥�
鈥淲e feel this is quite compelling to lower their year-on-year cost goals while creating a more sustainable supply chain with less truck emissions,鈥� he said.
