Container Capabilities
OCT supports efficient container operations with deep-water berth access, ship-to-shore cranes, and dedicated yard space for stacking and reefer processing. The terminal layout enables smooth vessel, rail, and truck transfers, helping reduce dwell time and support reliable import and export flows.
Intermodal Yard
The intermodal yard at OCT supports efficient rail operations with direct on-dock access to BNSF and Union Pacific. The yard layout allows rapid grounding, staging, and rail loading while minimizing equipment moves. This configuration reduces dwell time, improves train turn performance, and helps maintain consistent cargo flow through the terminal.
