Global 4 Temporary International Storage Adjustments
Announcement Number: IM2021-105

Posted Date: July 1, 2021
Dear Premium Customers,
The international intermodal supply chain continues to experience congestion related to high demand and constrained capacity, particularly drayage and warehouse operations in major markets. Union Pacific has strived to maximize container shipments between ports and inland ramps, but available parking space at Chicago’s Global 4 ramp has been consumed due to slow outbound drayage processing. Union Pacific has needed to stack some marine containers to enable trains to be unloaded without delay. Union Pacific acknowledges the difficulty for both dray carriers and the railroad to efficiently manage the outbound movement of containers once they are in a stacked location. Therefore, Union Pacific is taking the following actions effective July 1, 2021:
• Storage fees for international containers that are placed in a stack at Global 4 will be capped at $2,450.
• If a stacked container is subsequently mounted to a chassis and available for pickup, normal storage charges will continue to accrue until the container is outgated.
• The $2,450 maximum fee applies to all units currently stacked at Global 4.
We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to serve you. If you have any questions, please contact your Union Pacific representative.
Sincerely,
Premium Marketing and Sales
