Americold Realty Trust, the U.S.-based specialist in temperature-controlled logistics, has opened an import-export hub at Port Saint John in New Brunswick, Canada.<\/p>\n
Developed in collaboration with Dubai port terminal operator DP World and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (NYSE: CP<\/a>), Americold (NYSE: COLD<\/a>) said the facility is the first of its kind with global reach to combine the Atlanta company\u2019s cold storage operations, DP World\u2019s maritime logistics capabilities, and CPKC\u2019s rail network in a single location. The partnership, it said, creates a more direct and reliable pathway for moving perishable goods between inland production regions and international markets.<\/p>\n \u201cThis facility leverages our collaboration with leading global trade and transportation partners, creating a uniquely integrated solution to move temperature-sensitive products between inland production regions and international markets more efficiently and reliably,\u201d said Rob Chambers, chief executive at Americold, in a release. \u201cIt is another example of how we are evolving our network to better serve our customers through differentiated solutions that open new growth opportunities for the company.\u201d<\/p>\n The facility is designed to support flows between central and eastern Canada and Europe, South America, and the Asia-Pacific region. Americold says that it is the only temperature-controlled storage solution in eastern Canada directly connected to a port without drayage, reducing cost and transport time between vessel and warehouse.<\/p>\n \u201cThe grand opening of this new cold storage facility at Port Saint John marks an important milestone in CPKC\u2019s growing collaboration with Americold,\u201d said Keith Creel, CPKC President and CEO, in the release. \u201cBy combining this state-of-the-art facility with CPKC\u2019s three-nation rail service, we are creating a new temperature-controlled supply chain that connects Atlantic Canada to key markets across Canada and throughout North America. Working with Americold and J.D. Irving\u2019s NBM Railways, CPKC has helped deliver a secure, seamless and integrated solution that is truly unique and one our competitors simply cannot replicate.\u201d<\/p>\n The hub at Port Saint has capacity of approximately 22,000 pallet positions and is designed to support high-throughput import and export volumes with more efficient handling across transportation modes.<\/p>\n \u201cThe operational launch of the Americold facility at Port Saint John reflects the progress we are making in aligning terminal operations, inland rail connectivity, and temperature-controlled storage,\u201d said Doug Smith, CEO of DP World in Canada. \u201cBy coordinating these capabilities, we enable customers to move perishable goods through the port with greater consistency and efficiency as they connect to global markets.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Americold Realty Trust, the U.S.-based specialist in temperature-controlled logistics, has opened an import-export hub at Port Saint John…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":100632,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[36592,36588,739,17,28687,36589,23764,7255,813,36590,36591,2832],"class_list":["post-100631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-americold","tag-americold-realty-trust","tag-atlantic-canada","tag-canada","tag-canadian-pacific-kansas-city","tag-cold-storage-facility","tag-dp-world","tag-eastern-canada","tag-global-markets","tag-logistics-capabilities","tag-perishable-goods","tag-saint-john"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100631"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100631\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
