- Heavy haul truck/rail coordination
- Lift-on/lift-off at all points
- Roll-on/Roll-off barges with access to shallow & undeveloped ports

- Coordination with local port and government authorities
Many companies routinely consult with Columbia Coastal Transport for their expertise in logistics and project planning.
The Green Alternative
Columbia Coastal Transport is also a leader in lessening the cargo transportation industry’s “carbon footprint” on the planet. As the waterborne intermodal option for port-to-port freight movement, Columbia transports multiple containers at one time. For carriers, this means their service reach is extended into coastal ports without incurring the cost burden of a direct ship call. For ports, there is a lessening of truck container traffic in and around already crowded terminals. For the environment, Columbia Coastal takes literally tens of thousands of trucks off the nation’s highways each year. This translates into far less emissions; less wear and tear on major thoroughfares; and ultimately a better choice for today’s green conscious companies.
