A Location That Leads to Advantages

Reduced operational and drayage costs

Situate your import distribution centre at Delta iPort to optimize operating efficiencies and minimize transportation costs — potential savings can exceed CDN$ 10 million over a 10-year period.

The numbers add up to savings

For import operations with significant volumes of container movement, the relative benefit of a particular location is impacted by the cost of dray services. To illustrate these dray factors, the following prototypical import deconsolidation facility is used.

Land Area: 20 Acres

Building Area: 200,000 SF

Annual Containers Received: 10,000 x 40’ Containers

Lease Term: 10 Years

Discount Rate: 8%

To better illustrate the cost differences and establish an equilibrium between rental rate and the increased dray service costs for a location in Campbell Heights relative to a location at iPort, the rental rate would have to be $3.72 to $5.96 less per square foot than the rental rate at iPort. Similarly, the effective rental rate in East Richmond would have to be between $0.88 and $1.10 less per square foot. Due to the reduced cost of dray services to iPort compared to other locations, the present value of potential savings can exceed CDN$ 10 million when measured over a 10-year period.

Regardless of whether import containers are returned to a Port of Vancouver facility or transported to an off-dock container yard, Delta iPort offers the lowest-cost alternative for dray services.
