Hamburg Sud ends chassis provisioning in Memphis and Nashville
GERMANY's Hamburg Sud will end its chassis provisioning in and around Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee, the company announced.
As of November 1, the shipping company will no longer serve as a provider of chassis to shippers for cargo moving under merchant's haulage through the areas' terminals and depots, reports American Journal of Transportation.
The shipping line sources chassis from the North American Chassis Pool Cooperative for both merchant's haulage as well as carrier conducted intermodal moves.
Shippers, their agents or consignees, can procure equipment either directly from the North American Chassis Pool Cooperative or from various other chassis vendors. Carrier provided intermodal moves will be unaffected by this change.
