A multimodal transportation hub typically used to originate or terminate domestic or international product in either containerized or bulk form serving multiple carriers, shippers (BCO’s) and 3PL’s. An inland port will often have a “co-located” or adjacent industrial park for the benefit of warehouse and transload users.
