Vessel to rail, rail to truck, truck to DC appointment — every one of those joints is a place where a shipment that was on time stops being on time. The freight itself is rarely the problem. The handover is.
Amar’s warehousing exists to absorb those interfaces. Your container grounds in our yard, strips in our crossdock, stores under bond if duty timing matters, and delivers to the DC in the appointment window — all inside one network, on one file, with one company answering for it.
Cargo moved from marine equipment into 53′ domestic containers, releasing steamship line equipment fast and cutting the inland cost per unit.
Break, sort and re-route without the freight entering long-term storage or a second company’s building.
CBSA-approved facilities holding cargo under bond until duty timing works in your favour.
1,000 reefer plug positions across the network, with monitoring logged on a four to six hour cycle.
Order-level handling for customers who need the container broken down to units rather than pallets.
Buffer capacity across 300 acres of owned yard, so a timing problem never becomes a demurrage problem.
Delivered into the window on our own equipment, dispatched from the same terminal the freight was stored in.
Third-party warehousing adds a leg. The container is drayed to someone else’s building, stripped by someone else’s crew, and re-drayed to yours — three companies, three invoices, three chances to lose a day.
Amar’s warehousing sits inside the same terminals the drayage runs from. The box grounds where it will be stripped, and the truck that delivers the freight is dispatched from the same yard. That’s why we can commit to an appointment date rather than an estimate.
The container arrives at an Amar terminal on Amar equipment and grounds in our own yard — out of the port, out of demurrage.
Stripped to floor-loaded or palletised freight, or transloaded into 53′ domestic equipment for a cheaper inland leg.
Ambient, temperature-controlled or bonded, depending on whether the constraint is space, temperature or duty timing.
Into the DC appointment on Amar equipment, dispatched from the terminal holding the freight.
At Amar Group, we pride ourselves by constantly pushing the status quo. We remain dedicated to elevating all aspects of our operations through modernization and have been recognized as industry leaders in exemplary best practices and green initiatives.
Duty and tax are deferred until the goods are released rather than paid on arrival. For seasonal, promotional or slow-moving inventory that can be a material working-capital difference, and it keeps the container out of demurrage while you decide.
From a few days of buffer through to long-term staging. With 300 acres of owned yard across the network, capacity is a commercial conversation rather than a queue.
Order-level handling for customers who need the container broken down below pallet level.
Yes. Transload, crossdock, storage and DC delivery are available standalone to shippers, forwarders and steamship lines, in the same way our drayage is.
Send us a lane, a commodity and a volume. A pricing analyst responds within one business day with pricing broken out by leg — ocean, customs, rail, drayage and storage — so you can see what each stage costs.
