Canadian Pacific Railway and Maersk are partnering to build and operate a transload and distribution facility in Vancouver to expand CP’s and Maersk Canada’s supply chain options for customers. The CP transload facility will be an expansion of CP’s existing Vancouver Intermodal Facility and thus will benefit from turnkey rail infrastructure. The move is intended to allow them to move e-commerce and other goods out of the port in a tight warehousing market where marine terminals can quickly become constrained. The facility is set to open in 2021.
