Canadian Pacific Railway and Maersk to develop transload and distribution facility in Vancouver

Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) and Maersk have agreed to build and operate a transload and distribution facility in Vancouver, therefore expanding CP’s existing Vancouver Intermodal Facility and benefitting from turnkey rail infrastructure.

The transload facility is designed to apply Maersk’s global integrator of container logistics strategy.

The companies aim to offer customers access to a multi-commodity transload facility that will rely on the substantial use of rail instead of truck in the Vancouver market, as CP will shuttle containers to and from the ocean terminals via rail.
