On—off terminal vessel-to-rail intermodal transfer and the case of Long Beach Port

---

The vessel-to-rail intermodal transfer of containers can be performed either within the marine terminal, called on-terminal or outside the marine terminals, called offterminal. The off-terminal is the common way of rail loading, whereby the marine containers are combined with other, non-maritime containers to achieve greater utilization of yard and rail equipment. The on-terminal transfer, a novelty in US ports, is perceived to be advantageous since it saves on drayage (i.e. haulage) and handling of rail-bound boxes. However, on-terminal has many inherent problems the most critical of them being use of scarce waterfront land, ineffectiveness in mixing international and domestic containers, and large investments required to construct yards and rail accesses. The following article presents a discussion of various aspects of the intermodal, onloff terminal rail-to-vessel alternatives, illustrated by a case study taken from the Port of Long Beach, California.
