Original Post (10/26/20):
Effective immediately, the BNSF is implementing a program for limiting bulk agricultural exports shipping from their Logistics Park Chicago (LPC) facility. BNSF is requesting that all export agricultural commodities be limited to 52,000 lbs. of laden cargo. This change will help BNSF to maximize resources to meet export demand and improve velocity within their facility.
OOCL partners with BNSF on shipments moving from LPC to marine terminals in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Oakland and Seattle/Tacoma.
It is anticipated that this measure will be in place through at least January 2021.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and we appreciate your cooperation.
