Columbia Group Opens NJ Intermodal Depot

The Columbia Group of Companies will open a new intermodal chassis depot located in Bayonne, NJ on November 16, 2015.

 

Trac Intermodal will be the first customer to join the depot. Columbia Group, through its affiliates Columbia Container Services and Columbia Intermodal, already operate a first-class off-dock empty container depot and chassis maintenance and repair depot in the Port of New York/New Jersey and a chassis pool and container repair operation in the Port of Boston. Fenimore says that the new depot will be open to all chassis owners and its being developed to provide quality customer service to motor carriers.  “The motor carrier community and chassis providers in the Port of New York and New Jersey want an adequate supply of available chassis, quick turn-times, and quality repairs. This is exactly the type of service we aim to provide,” said Fenimore.  

Located at 42 Military Ocean Terminal at Pulaski Lane West in Bayonne, NJ, the new intermodal chassis depot is situated on 12 acres of property. It features a covered repair facility, significant storage capabilities, express bob-tail exit lane for efficient movement of trucks through the facility, approximately 600 feet of queue space to get motor carriers off of the local roads, as well as cutting edge EDI technology for efficient chassis management.  In addition, the facility was designed to accommodate the Market Pool chassis model upon its implementation in the Port of New York and New Jersey.  The hours of operation will be 6:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (cut-off at 4pm) Monday through Friday. Additional hours are available upon request.
