Bolloré Logistics in Prince Rupert

Bolloré Logistics initially opened the station to serve a single project, but will keep it open due to high demand for transloading services in Prince Rupert.

BollorĂ© Logistics has opened a new container freight station (CFS) in Prince Rupert. The station is 17 km from the port’s container terminal. It includes a 20,000 square foot warehouse and two-acre storage yard. It was initially built to provide container de-stuffing and transloading services for a large industrial project in region, but thanks to high demand, BollorĂ© is keeping it open for additional customers. Since opening the CFS has handled 600 transloads and roughly 8,000 empty containers. The company says it is developing bonded warehousing and transloading-to-rail services. The CFS can handle retail, industrial and other goods – palletized, crated or loose. The CFS has 3-, 5- and 16-ton forklifts as well as a container reach-stacker to support its operation.
