Hi all, quick question about a consignee. Coldwater Seafood imports frozen fish with direct reefer ship service to their pier, but they also get UPFE and ARMN reefers from CSX.

Are they transloading the fish from shipping containers to the railroad cars for U.S. distribution, or is the railroad bringing in meat/dairy/other products for export?

All reefers arrive at the NEP as loads and depart as empties. :wink:

Question - I think Maritime Terminal in New Bedford occassionally
ships out loads (off inbound freighters) in reefers as well as inbound
loads. You think empty reefers from NEP get redirected down to New
Bedford to cover any outbound loads?

I just never recall seeing anything in the computer going down empty. :( Guess it is possible though.
