WHAT IS PORT DRAYAGE?
Drayage, also known as cartage or haulage, is the transportation of freight between intermodal warehouse and a customer’s facility. Intermodal hubs include rocean ports, inland ports, and cargo warehouses. Port drayage focuses specifically on the transloading of ocean freight and the transportation of that freight in and out of ports of call. Since international freight shipping has become a leading industry on worldwide economic levels, the demand for port drayage services has increased exponentially.
Visit the Intermodal Association of North America’s (IANA) website to gain a better understanding of the transloading of Drayage freight.
CONTAINER DRAYAGE
Port drayage is focused on the transportation of shipping containers around and out of the port in which they arrive. Through the process of transloading, containers are moved from one mode of transportation to another in order to reach their final destination. With sea freight, this process involves moving containers from shipping vessels to an accompanying rail line or carrier-provided truck.
DRAYAGE CONTAINER TYPES:
- 20ft and 40ft Dry/Standard Container —Most common container type, used to ship general materials.
- Flat Rack—Containers in which the sides can be folded down and in to allow for oversized loads.
- High Cube—Taller container to fit lengthier cargo.
- Open Top—Containers without solid roofs and are instead covered by a tarp. Used for heavy machinery cargo.
