US intermodal service provider adds load lift to Port Houston depot

The Marino Group’s Marine Repair Services – Container Maintenance Corporation (MRS-CMC), provider of intermodal services, has announced the addition of a third load lift to its newly launched depot at Port Houston in Texas aiming to enhance its container storage solution.

This additional equipment will improve efficiency for its customers, which is especially important as the market prepares for Port Houston’s Sustained Import Dwell Fee to take effect on 1 February.

Port Houston’s new dwell fee structure was designed to reduce long-term container storage and promote cargo movement fluidity at both the Barbours Cut and Bayport Container terminals.

“Our brand-new Port Houston depot, located directly across from the Bayport Terminal and only a few minutes away from the Barbours Cut terminal, provides a highly efficient container storage solution that relieves terminal congestion and helps our customers avoid dwell fees, which are about to be increased,” said David Miller, director of MRS-CMC, Southwest & Mid-South Operations.

According to Port Houston’s new dwell fee implementation, after the eighth dwell day, a US$45/day fee will be assessed, which must be paid prior to the release of a long-dwelled container.

In addition to the container storage solution, the depot offers a pre-pull programme service for warehouses and distribution centers and efficient grounded reefer and genset operations.
