Arguably the most important trend in U.S. freight transportation and logistics is the growing reliance on intermodal rail, especially for international cargo moving through seaports.
As rail service improves, shippers increasingly view seaports as gateways for onward movement of cargo via rail to inland intermodal facilities, or “Inland Ports.” Managing cargo flows in this way offers cost, environmental and strategic benefits for retailers and other importers, as well as emerging opportunities for U.S. exports as well. The Inland Ports Logistics Conference focuses on logistics system of moving international cargo by rail to and from inland ports, offering insights into how. This event will showcase the benefits of these facilities, as well as delve into how to develop logistics facilities and networks around Inland Ports to realize full advantage from this growing opportunity.
