Seaport analyzes the various intermodal transportation systems that serve a port - road, rail, sea-air, and pipeline - and conducts investigations for clients interested in complete intermodal transport solutions. We often analyze various transport systems in the course of our port traffic forecasts, strategic plans, and operations analyses. This gives Seaport the ability to consider the entire picture when helping our clients.
Our work includes:
- Terminal alternatives evaluation
- Mining logistics
- Terminal site selection and planning
- Cargo forecasting
- Freight movement surveys
- Due diligence studies
Typical clients include natural resource companies seeking the most efficient way to move product to world markets and investors contemplating new plant locations. Seaport also uses its skills to help the public sector in regional planning. Some examples of recent projects are shown below:
Evaluation of port and rail facilities for a new copper mining operation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
South American Rail Market Study
The study investigated the market for rail intermodal services as well as demand for a new container port.
