STOP OVERSPENDING ON SEATTLE STORAGE FEES AND DEMURRAGE

Shipping freight across the Pacific Ocean opens your reach to most of the world. While it’s stored safely on the ship, you can rest easy knowing there’s not much to do besides wait for your cargo to hit its destination. But as a freight forwarding company, your job is to get it to the warehouses the moment the ship pulls into port.

Failing to do so can result in days worth of delays and thousands of dollars of fines.

We don’t need to tell you that drayage gets complex. When your shipping plan goes smoothly, you prove to your clients that they picked the right freight forwarder to take care of their goods. When it doesn’t, you may find yourself wasting days and even weeks doing damage control over port congestion fees and demurrage.

Don’t let a lack of information or last-minute hiccups drain all your focus and energy. Instead, consider investing in a partnership with ITG Transportation Services. As experts in the field of drayage, we have the tools, teams, and connections to make your drayage hurdles easier to conquer.

FIRST AND LAST MILE SHIPPING IN SEATTLE

The Northwest Seaport Alliance, including the Seattle port, handled approximately $66 billion worth of waterborne trade in 2020. The ports around the Puget Sound represent the fourth largest container gateway in the United States. With access to the US and Canada inland and the Pacific Ocean by ship, Seattle represents a major hub any freight forwarding company must be familiar with.

While maritime commerce is a huge part of Seattle’s transportation industry, it also offers plenty of storage and rail transportation via two Class I railroads: BNSF and Union Pacific. From there, any shipping business or freight forwarder can access North American markets.

SEATTLE’S NORTHWEST SEAPORT ALLIANCE

Working out of Seattle’s ocean-bound ports means working with the Northwest Seaport Alliance. This alliance is a joint partnership for cargo operations between the Port of Seattle and the Port of Tacoma. While Seattle stands as an excellent container gateway for international freight, you have to balance your own shipping challenges around thousands of other businesses working through a port that sees an annual container volume of around 3.7 million TEUs annually. With that much volume going in and out, that’s a lot of chances for misunderstandings and delays.

NAVIGATING SEATTLE’S ALLIANCE

This unique partnership provides your business with ample opportunities for growth and revenue, but handling the drayage in Seattle without the right information and experience may create more challenges than expected—and unexpected hurdles in the drayage industry can mean big fines and long delays.

With ITG, you form your own partnership that can provide just as many opportunities for growth and revenue as we seek to make sure your first and last mile go smoothly. With the right tools and experience, our team has the connections to get your cargo in the right vendor’s hands—right on time, too.

    EASIER SEATTLE DRAYAGE WITH ITG

    Seattle drayage involves dozens of moving parts. Looking at just the largest players, you have to:

    • Trace container arrivals
    • Monitor free time at the rail
    • Track delivery milestones with state-of-the-art applications
    • Gather quotes from carriers
    • Make port, rail, and storage appointments

    It’s important to focus on that last one especially. Failing to keep your shipping appointments not only disappoints your shipping partners and customers, but also incurs hundreds of dollars in fees.

    None of these tasks take into account the inevitable hiccups in the process from carrier capacity, delays from reshuffling, and customs clearances that go wrong due to incorrect documentation. It’s hard to keep a cool head and move forward when you’re in the middle of a mess—which is an easy way to start spending the profit you could have earned.

    Preparing for Seattle drayage issues in advance requires clear preparation, comprehensive documentation, and reliable networks. You can reduce the risks of delays and high costs by leaning on a team with the right experience. ITG works to handle your cargo, no matter how complex, and facilitate your shipping needs so that it all goes smoothly. Knowing your shipments are taken care of helps you stop wasting time and start focusing on your business and success.

    Our variety of service options at ITG provides you with several ways to ship anything, whether you’re handling oversized freight, hazardous cargo, or enormous volumes. 

    Save yourself time and money with the right experience, team, and tools. ITG understands the nuances of Seattle shipping and drayage and knows that a minor schedule hiccup or a documentation slip-up can cost you. Our goal is to make your drayage process easy so you can enjoy peace of mind when shipping your goods or freight forwarding for others.
