Does anyone know the story behind this? Is it some sort of intermodal experiment or has PAR lured in a new customer?

Those two things don't often go together

by KSmitty » Fri Aug 25, 2017 4:14 amIf waters are put on POSE at Rigby, that would reduce both the moves and transit time for POSE at the Hill Yard chokepoint. Waters -- perhaps not exclusively -- get put on POED, requiring a setoff -- sometimes in the yard, sometimes on the Camp, sometimes too late for a POSE that may have leapfrogged that POED. Mebbe Rigby has its own problems, but shoveling the solution west to Ayer seems an incomplete solution.

CMA-CGM is not only one of the world’s leading container lines but also has developed innovative technology which places them as a leader in the movement of refrigerated goods by container. The Port Saint John weekly call on CMA-CGM’s Cagema service will begin the week of August 21st and will offer transhipment to the world via their hub in Kingston, Jamaica.
