TranSystems has performed maritime master and development planning, strategic planning and design of port and intermodal terminal facilities for numerous clients, including port authorities, shipping companies and private users. Work has included general consulting services, strategic master planning, cargo projections, feasibility studies, site layouts and preliminary engineering, cost estimates and final plans and specifications. Our experience includes significant non-cargo related maritime development strategies as well, such as cruise and ferry terminals and waterfront urban planning and design.
As a result of extensive experience in the operations, design and planning of marine cargo terminals and intermodal rail facilities, TranSystems has developed long-term relationships with marine terminal operators, port professionals, Class 1 railroads and intermodal logistics companies. Understanding the point-to-point logistics of freight movement enables TranSystems to take a systems approach to port facilities planning – integrating the development of port facilities with the capabilities and limitations of landside and waterside access.
The TranSystems team also brings an investment systems approach to port facility planning. TranSystems has forged strong working relationships with the nation’s leading transportation economists to ensure that proposed port improvements are evaluated in terms of market and fiscal realities, using accepted cost/benefit and economic impact methodologies. TranSystems has assisted numerous ports in obtaining financing from bonds, taxes and other sources.
We have brought together a team of world-class port planners and maritime/intermodal development experts to successfully carry out this project. Our talents include significant local, regional, Canadian, US and international experience in evaluating, planning, marketing, engineering and development of state-of-the-art port and intermodal infrastructure. Our team brings decades of experience in evaluating, planning, marketing, designing, developing and creatively implementing new marine terminal and intermodal rail systems.
With a full spectrum of disciplines, industry focus, and geographic reach, we take our client’s vision from the conceptual environment to the built environment. Our experience crosses the entire spectrum of transportation-related systems so we can tailor our approach to your individual project.
