FERNLEY, Nev. – The Port of Nevada, an inland port near Reno, is now offering international intermodal service to and from the Port of Oakland, Calif., thanks to a partnership with Union Pacific and CMA CGM Group.
“Direct rail access between Reno and the West Coast significantly increases the amount of cargo freight that can be shipped,” Stuart Lichter, president of the Port of Nevada and its owner, Industrial Realty Group, said in a statement. “This collaborative venture will provide our clients with a more efficient, reliable, and environmentally sensitive way to transport goods.”
The 224-acre Port of Nevada’s rail capabilities include bulk and intermodal transloading and storage. It features 7,000 feet of track.
The facility received its first containers on June 3.
