Export

To avoid cargo stoppage, diversions, and extra costs not factored in initially, please ensure that all rail shipments comply with the rail matrix weight acceptance system below for both CP and CN for Canada.

This document is a weight guideline for rail carriage in Canada, listed per Port of Load and Discharge (POL / POD) along with available surcharges. The rail matrix weight acceptance system determines the maximum weight that can be safely transported on the respective a rail lines.

Please take note of the weight limitations and surcharges before booking any shipments with an inland component.
For any deviation from the maximum weight allowance, the following will occur:

  • Export: Container ingate will be impossible or the container will be stopped at the rail head, all costs associated with this action will be in the cargo’s account
  • Import: The transport will be terminated immediately at the Port of Discharge ( POD) and all costs associated with this action will be in the cargo’s account

 

Pour éviter l'interruption de service de votre marchandise par rail et des coûts additionnels imprévus, veuillez-vous assurer que tous les envois ferroviaires sont conformes au système d'acceptation des poids de la matrice ferroviaire ci-dessous, tant pour CP que pour CN au Canada.

Ce document est un guide de poids limite pour tout transport ferroviaire au Canada, répertorié par port de chargement et de déchargement (POL / POD) ainsi que les surtaxes potentielles. Le système d'acceptation des poids de la matrice ferroviaire détermine le poids maximum pouvant être transporté en toute sécurité sur l’ensemble des lignes ferroviaires que nous desservons.

Pour toute déviation par rapport à la tolérance de poids maximale, les conséquences suivantes se produiront :

  • Exportation : L'entrée au terminal du conteneur sera impossible ou le conteneur sera arrêté à l’embarquement du train, tous les coûts associés à cette opération seront imputables au compte du client en défaut.
  • Importation : Le transport sera immédiatement interrompu / termine au port de déchargement (POD) et tous les coûts associés à cette fin de service seront imputables compte du client en défaut.
