IMC Companies and H&M Intermodal Services have jointly opened a new truck and depot terminal in Newark, N.J., adding needed capacity to the busy Port Newark container freight market.
Located at 915 Delancy Street, the new 10-acre location features a paved, lit, fenced yard with 24-hour security-controlled access and storage for 1,200 containers. Just over three miles from Port Newark, the new location is equipped with lifts to ground containers, as well as a warehouse and freight transfer facility.
“This location brings much needed velocity in the New York-New Jersey market for those who ship through the ports,” said Barry Bernard, president of H&M Intermodal Services. “Our new facility offers customers the ability for us to pull their containers into our secured storage until they are ready to take delivery.”
The new freight transfer facility is in the final planning stages for construction and is expected to open in spring 2023. The building will feature a 20,000-square-foot warehouse with 21 dock doors and 5,000 square feet of office space. The facility will also offer warehousing and transloading services.
“The transfer facility is another value-added service for our customers, allowing the quick transfer of freight from container to over-the-road trailer, which will reduce per diem and chassis usage expenses,” Bernard added.
In business for over half a century, H&M is a key container drayage and warehousing provider in the Northeast, with locations strategically positioned in Philadelphia, Kearny, N.J., and now Newark. H&M Intermodal Services is part of the IMC Companies family of brands.
