UPDATE from CPR to February 1st Bulletin titled “INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS - PORT OF VANCOUVER GATEWAY”

 

Please notice that our pilot will be effective at all of CP’s US terminals as of March 1, 2008.

 

In our ongoing efforts to maintain fluidity in the Port of Vancouver Gateway, CP will be piloting our Dynamic Export Management (DEM) policy for the Port of Vancouver Gateway at all of CP’s US Terminals (Bensenville, Detroit, Minneapolis, Milwaukee), effective March 1, 2008.

 

Once the US terminals have been fully implemented, we will expand to Canada, beginning in Lachine, and phasing in the rest of the TRIEX enabled terminals.

 

The CP DEM policy will incorporate 2 significant components which will better serve customers in the Vancouver Gateway.

 

CP Inland Terminal Cut-offs

 

· CP will implement a 5 day export window (cut-off day + 4 business days) versus the current "open gate" policy.

 

· The 5 day export window will apply to all DEM implemented CP inland terminals located in the U.S. and Canada.

 

· Exports arriving on cut-off day, but after cut-off time will be accepted.

 

· Exports arriving prior to the assigned 5 day window will be refused entry.

 

· Exports arriving after the assigned 5 day window, will be refused entry.

 

· CP’s DEM policy will exclude Interline partners, reefer traffic, and cargo destined for Fraser Surrey Docks.

 

Dynamic Cut-off Schedule

 

The second component of our policy will have Canadian and U.S. inland terminal cut-offs reflect "actual" vessel arrival and departures, versus scheduled.
