Transload Services
Transload Services
If you need to expedite or reroute shipments due to terminal and rail congestion, we can help make up for lost time. We dray your container to our bonded logistics centers located just 10 minutes from the ports of Oakland, CA and Savannah, GA. We’ll get your goods from ocean containers into 53-foot domestic trailers or intermodal containers and give you a fast turn to the next leg of your distribution.
Prevent Detention 
By keeping the ocean container close to the ocean port, you avoid unnecessary drayage costs and any late equipment return penalties. We can schedule directly with drayage providers and we operate our own fleet of dedicated 53-foot intermodal containers. We have the equipment and the experienced staff to carefully unload even the most challenging floor-loaded containers and palletize or package shipments according to your specifications—then get your box returned to the ocean carrier.
Distribution Advantages
Leverage the prime proximities and integrated resources of Matson Logistics to get your products to the processing plant, retailer, or ecommerce customer without delays. Our Oakland and Savannah logistics centers are minutes from port, rail connections, and major highways. And they’re situated on heavyweight corridors. Our distribution network of 52,000 over-the-road carriers and committed capacity with Class I railroads give you a strong and seamless distribution link.
Flexible Cargo Routing and Destination Options
We’re the creative and resourceful partner you need. For example, your urgent shipment can be transloaded into a truck with team drivers for expedited transit to anywhere in the 48 states within three days. Or your shipment can be devanned from the ocean container and loaded into delivery trucks for local markets. The remaining shipment can then be transported as a truckload or LTL move to inland destinations.
Value-Added Services
When your cargo needs transloading plus something extra, we provide cost effective options, seamlessly performed by seasoned workers and overseen by Matson Logistics managers who have seen and done it all. Lean on our team for a full range of value-added services, including palletization, shrink-wrapping, product inspection, carton labeling, sorting, repacking, and kitting.
Savings Every Step of the Way
Save costs with the elimination of product storage and faster speed to market. Transloading can simplify and reduce the number of units needed to transport the goods. And higher CBM capacity in 53s means fewer moves. We take charge of your entire move, from port drayage to transload facility to final-mile delivery. Such coordination can save you costs—and grief.
