Marine transportation and temperature-controlled intermodal new partnerships will be the next five years of Canadian Pacific-Kansas City (CPKC) Mexico-United States intermodal franchise growth of the main catalyst.
CPKC said it had signed an agreement with Hapg-Lloft. Sea carriers ship the containers by sea to the port of Lazaro Caldenas on Mexico's Pacific coast, and CPKC ships the boxes by rail to the United States. CPKC's partnership with Hapag-Lloyds can avoid Southern California and provide shorter transit times for cargo bound for the U.S. Gulf Coast to attract cargo owners to Lhasa, Roccadenas.
CPKC intermodal vice president Jonathan Waba (Jonathan Wahba) said that cooperation with Hapg-Lloth will enable ships from Shanghai to arrive in Lazaro Cardenas time than through the Panama Canal to Houston 10 to 14 days faster.
Wahba is confident that it will meet its target of daily trains, and intermodal transport will bring higher additional revenue to CPKC over the next five years. Because Lazaro Cardenas handled less than 1 million TEUs, or 500000 40-foot containers, in 2022, that's enough to fill one (daily) train. Just as Herberger is protecting the capacity on their ships, we are also protecting the capacity on our railways for Herberger. "
temperature controlled multimodal transport
CPKC also worked with Americold to add 1000 new temperature-controlled containers, of which 250 (refrigeration) units have been put into use, and the remaining 750 containers will be delivered by the end of the year.
CPKC will provide the land within its intermodal terminal, while Americold will build and operate the warehouse on the land, known as the Escrow Agreement ". The colocation protocol allows CPKC to load containers to higher weight limits than those allowed on U.S. highways because the cargo never leaves the dock and therefore never touches public streets.
Wahba said the CPKC has begun moving agricultural products from Laredo and protein from Kansas City northward in recent days. The addition of these new containers will reduce cargo on temperature-controlled trucks, helping to support this business that effectively competes with temperature-controlled trucking options between Mexico and the United States.
