How Our Container Unloading / Devanning Process Works

Inbound containers are spotted directly at our docks, where our team initiates the devanning process. Loose or floor-loaded cargo is carefully extracted, sorted by item type, and palletized to exact warehouse specifications. Our team verifies product counts against international manifests, updates our inventory system, and readies the empty container for immediate return to the rail terminal.
