APM Terminals Elizabeth targets intermodal cargo

With the US inland supply chain in the spotlight, APM Terminals (APMT) Elizabeth is looking to use its first port of call momentum to expand intermodal cargo volumes to and from the Midwest and Canada.

Using a direct-to-rail landing zone section on the terminal during vessel discharge operations, the facility can expedite rail cargo to its near dock rail facility on average 12 hours after discharge.

Once cargo arrives at the Millennium Marine Rail-operated terminal (an APMT joint venture), teams work on the 18 track operation building double-stack trains for handoff to three Class I railroads (CSX, NS, CN) that take it to inland markets two to four days away.
