  • The Containerization of Commodities: Integrating Inland Ports with Gateways and Corridors in Western Canada
    The Containerization of Commodities: Integrating Inland Ports with Gateways and Corridors in Western Canada Jean-Paul Rodrigue, PhD Van Horne Researcher in Transportation and Logistics Professor, Hofstra University April 2012 2 Executive Summary This report provides an analysis of the major trends in the containerization of commodities and looks at its commercial potential and operational hurdles. The setting of inland ports in Western Canada is seen as a strategy to help reconcile import (retail dominated) and export (commodities dominated) logistics. The containerization of commodities involves the development and expansion of a niche market that can fluctuate according to the price of the respective commodities, the nature and extent of the demand and container shipping rates. All of these are commodity specific and will convey new opportunities for commodity exporters and buyers alike. The last decade have been prone to the containerization of commodities as container shipping rates remained relatively constant while the price of most commodity groups doubled or tripled. Containerization enables a better level of inventory management of commodities. Yet, the availability of containers is a recurring challenge since maritime shipping companies, as dominant managers of containerized assets, will allocate them where there are commercial opportunities to recoup the costs of having these containers circulating outside their shipping and port networks. A growing level of intermodal integration is being observed in Western Canada, which reflects a trend observed across North America and elsewhere around the world. Inland ports are likely to be the missing multiplying effect that would encourage maritime shipping companies to have a larger number of containerized assets moving inland.
