THE PRINCE RUPERT GATEWAYPrince Rupert’s Value Proposition Proof of the Proposition

Speed • 1.5 - 3 days closer to Asia (sailing)• Short terminal / port dwell time• 4 – 8 days savings in total transit time

Reliability • Minimal congestion at port or within rail system • Little to no variability in service• Consistent and reliable transit times into Chicago and Memphis, as well as central Canada

Cost • Service is price competitive• Lower total logistics cost for shipper• Reliability improves supply chain predictability

Flexibility • Logistics – import: transload, re-route, hold back, modify inventory; export: containerize cargo at a natural “eddy”, at the port

DEFINING OUR COMPETITIVENESSdon’t replicate… invovate

• Quantifying our carbon footprint study – SNC Lavalin

• Understand shipper’s needs (Supply Chain focus) – WCL and QCL studies

• Measuring and monitoring performance – KPIs

CONTAINER IMPORT LOGISTICS Proof of Concept - Potential Projects

• Supply Chain Issue / Market Opportunity -- Identify and test PR Value Proposition of speed, reliability, cost and identify and quantify the need for “flexibility” of Supply Chain at Port of PR.

• Scope of Proof of Concept – WCL :– Senior Management of 45 of the top

100 Beneficial Cargo owners including 4 of top 10 US importers (Walmart, Target, Sears, Costco, Nike, Toys R Us, Nissan, Dollar Tree) and 13 top 3PLs (including CEVA, UPS, Kuehue & Nagel, OEC, NYK Logistics)

– quantified need of transload, inland ports, visibility, deconsolidation, value added logistics, warehousing, fulfillment centre FTZ.

* “e.g., transloading, value-added services, team truck expediting, etc.”

51% are likely to increase imports through PPR Corridor if certain new improvements* are made.

Prince Rupert Opportunity -- “51% of BCOs stated that they would “likely” or “highly likely” increase imports through the PoPR if more flexible options were provided”.Conclusion: PoPR’s value proposition “timing, reliability, TL cost” all rate as extremely important supply chain strategy drivers, a new value proposition of “flexibility” rates as very important.

CONTAINER EXPORT LOGISTICS

Proof of Concept - Potential Projects

Supply Chain Issue / Market Opportunity • only one option for Canadian exports; and, • majority of containerized cargo is stuffed at the port (96% of

lumber, 87% of wood pulp and 73% of specialty crops).

Scope of Proof of Concept • QCI Consulting identified:

– Factors affecting export decisions regarding supply chain configuration; – Factors influencing shipping lines’ equipment allocation;– Steps to competitively position the PoPR in the development of

containerized export traffic.

Prince Rupert Opportunity • “companies recognized that the constraints in growth for

Vancouver container port facilities are primareily in the difficulty of coordinating off dock activities in the Lower Mainland. It is congestion in off-dock activities that is seen as limiting Vancouver’s growth…”

Conclusions• “wood pulp and specialty crop shippers identified the

limited capacity available to support container stuffing at the port…issues with lack of competition…were listed by both forest product companies and specialty crop shippers.”

• “Shippers believe that Prince Rupert’s major strength was the lack of congestion at the port and good rail service.”

Prince Rupert Constraining FactorsMagnitude of importance

Lack of access to markets 6

Insufficient capacity for container stuffing / storage at port 4

Lack of competition in existing markets 3

No support for refrigerated services 2

Problems to access traffic from CP origins 2

Lack of container supply 2

Container Business Competitiveness do not replicate… innovate
