Container moves between ports, rail ramps and warehouses.

Port and intermodal

Drayage is the short-distance movement of shipping containers between two intermodal points, such as a port terminal, a rail ramp and a warehouse. We arrange these moves with drayage carriers.

Ship Secure Inc works as a broker. The carrier that hauls your container performs the transportation.

Questions about drayage

What do you need from me to prepare a quote?
The pickup and delivery locations, the dates, a description of the freight and the equipment you need. For drayage, include the container size and the port or rail terminal.
Are pickup and delivery times guaranteed?
No. The motor carrier sets the route and transit time, and the times we pass on are estimates. Our terms and conditions explain this in full.
