Shared Logistics | From Asia to Minot, ND and Back

After opening an operations center in Jamestown in 2006, we became aware of the challenge in exporting agriculture commodities, as well as the challenge faced at obtaining oil & gas exploration commodities. Therefore BNSF Logistics provided the "ag in a box" solution. International containers imported with oil & gas commodities then agriculture products could be exported in the same container.

In a joint venture with North Dakota Port Services, BNSF Railway, Ocean Carrier Partners and the shipping community, we leveraged the eastbound flow of containers loaded with ceramic proppants (frac sand for drilling) as part of a new and innovative "shared supply chain" solution.

We currently balance the import and export customer demand to build the density needed to support consistent, train-load quantities. We also manage ocean carrier contracting, rail and ocean equipment inventory management, waybill organization and supply chain tracking. A single coordinated freight network that benefits all shippers!
