| CN BIT free
time decreases, storage rate increases |
|
(Toronto, June 24, 2004)...
Operations at the Brampton Intermodal Terminal (BIT), CN's
largest facility, continue to be constrained, particularly
after a weekend, by the high volume of import containers
being stored at the terminal for excess periods.
In an effort to reduce the dwell times of import containers,
CN is increasing the charges for storage and reducing free
time, effective July 19, 2004:
 |
Previous Rate: |
$150 per day |
|
Free Time: |
3 days from time of
grounding |
| |
|
|
|
New Rate: |
$200 per day ($50 increase) |
|
Free Time |
2 days if traffic deramped
between
04:00 Monday and 03:59 Friday |
| |
|
3 days if traffic deramped between
04:00 Friday and 03:59 Monday |
| |
|
|
|
The charges at all
other Canadian facilities will remain unchanged: three
(3) free days with additional days being charged at
$75 per day. A "Day" will continue
to be 07:00 to 06:59. All charges will be reflected
in CN's tariff 7589 |
