Port Drayage involves a short trip from the port to your first destination. It covers your first-mile journey. It sounds insignificant, but it’s an integral part of the journey and a complicated one.
Accurate Transport, with its fleet of trucks, pulls into the port. From there it’s a process of getting the container onto the chassis because containers are stacked in the port like building blocks. Your container is one of the thousands that are uploaded at the same time. This is part of intermodal transport when your container is hauled off the ship.
FROM SHIP
TO TRUCK
An oversized cargo ship enters the port, and each container is unloaded using gantry cranes connecting to the container’s corners. Each container is loaded onto terminal tractors/shunt trucks/yard trucks that bring your container into the storage yard.
From there, each container is unloaded by a stacker crane that piles them up like playing blocks in the port yard.
Port drayage transports your container cargo from ocean ports to your destination using technologically advanced trucking companies. It’s the first part of the container’s journey and a short trip. However, it’s a complicated and essential part of the journey.
It’s the only way to transfer your goods between intermodal ports or terminals and the next leg of a shipment’s transportation journey. It involves specialized trucks attached to a chassis and trained workers to handle getting your container out of the yard properly and safely to its first destination.
WHAT IS DRAYAGE
