Each shipment is tracked and monitored by our branch office in Phoenix, Arizona. Also, transportation to inland is based on usage of modernized rail terminals run by top-class rail companies. Particularly, UP-Global Ⅳ, the most advanced rail terminal handles cargoes with first-rate service by integrating rail and truck transportation, distribution and warehousing in one place. The cornerstone of SM Line's premier intermodal service is "the on-dock rail service at Pier-A" in Long Beach. By avoiding the drayage delay and rail terminal congestion, containers will depart on trains to inland destinations within hours of vessel discharge. Supported by the efficient stowage of our vessels, SM Line is able to coordinate with the Pier-A terminal to expedite the rail connection. The average dwell in terminal after being discharged from vessels is less than 48 hours.
