What Seaport Intermodal does

Seaport Intermodal (legal entity Seaport Transportation & Logistics), founded in 2010 and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, is a Canadian intermodal drayage and trucking operator providing container transportation between U.S. Northeast ports/railheads and Canadian destinations in Ontario and Quebec. The company runs a fleet of more than 200 trucks (125 door trucks and 75 linehaul trucks), 400+ chassis, 165 gensets, and 9 cranes, supported by a 13-acre bonded terminal near Toronto Pearson International Airport and a 7-acre bonded terminal in Pointe-Claire (Montreal). Operations are anchored by approximately 200 drivers holding FAST and TWIC certifications, with an additional operations and customer service hub in Gurugram, India.

The core product portfolio comprises door intermodal trucking (door-to-door, inter-provincial, and cross-border moves for dry, refrigerated, hazardous, and overweight cargo), linehaul trucking between intermodal hubs and U.S. ports/railheads, terminal/container yard services (storage, reefer handling, chassis management), and — newly launched in 2025 — Seaport Logistics, an OTR freight division extending into FTL, PTL, flatbed, and temperature-controlled freight. Underlying technology includes a TMS-based customer portal with real-time container tracking, EDI integration, automated notifications, and 2,500+ geofenced drop-off locations. Safety systems include AI-powered in-cab cameras, VADA collision-avoidance and automatic braking, G-force meters, and ELD-compliant hours-of-service logging. The company holds CBSA bonded carrier, PIP, UIIA, and SmartWay certifications and has held Northbridge Insurance Elite Status as one of the top 5% safest fleets in Canada.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis via quote-based pricing for trucking moves plus per-unit storage and handling fees at the Toronto and Montreal terminals. The GTM is exclusively enterprise field sales targeting shipping lines, freight forwarders, and beneficial cargo owners, supported by dedicated account management, on-site sales collaboration, and self-service portal capabilities. Key customers include Maersk (since 2010) and the top 5 global shipping lines, with the company's growth historically funded organically rather than through disclosed external financing rounds.
