Maersk will begin chassis program Aug. 3
Maersk said it will begin operating its new chassis pool in the New York area Aug. 3.
Direct ChassisLink will lease chassis to drayage companies, ocean carriers, marine terminals and railroads. Chassis that originate from any of the New York-New Jersey port area marine or rail terminals starting Aug. 3 will be subject to the new Direct ChassisLink Inc. model. Drayage companies must have a Direct ChassisLink Inc. lease agreement in place by July 31 to take full advantage of the new model.
A drayage company will be able to utilize the same Direct ChassisLink Inc. chassis multiple times in one day for any ocean carrier moves. They will be charged a daily per-diem rate.
Maersk Line containers will be moved under their current Maersk Line interchange agreements.
