Freight fails at transition points — port to truck, airport to warehouse, broker to carrier.
StraitLink’s freight ecosystem removes those breaks.
We coordinate ocean freight, air cargo recovery, Canadian customs clearance, and inland delivery under one operating structure. From vessel discharge or aircraft arrival to final delivery anywhere in Canada, one team manages the move.
Ocean. Air. Ground. One accountable partner.
What We Mean by a Freight Ecosystem
This is not just multimodal transport.
It is a controlled sequence of services operating together:
- Ocean freight coordination, container monitoring, terminal release, drayage from Vancouver or Prince Rupert
- Air cargo recovery, document validation, bonded transfers, pickup at Toronto Pearson
- Canadian customs brokerage, HS validation, documentation review, CBSA compliance
- Inland transport, FTL and LTL delivery across Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and nationwide
- Centralized communication, one operations team from arrival to POD
We manage the handoffs directly. We do not outsource accountability.
Where Control Is Gained
Port and Airport Release
When freight arrives, we:
- Confirm discharge or recovery status
- Clear customs in advance where possible
- Secure pickup before free time expires
- Arrange bonded moves when required
This limits dwell, storage, and demurrage exposure.
Inland Delivery Across Canada
Once released, we coordinate:
- Dedicated FTL for direct plant delivery
- LTL for palletized freight
- Scheduled DC appointments
- Bilingual coordination for Quebec shipments
The same team controls the movement end to end.
Customs Integrated — Not Separate
StraitLink is a licensed Canadian customs broker.
We:
- Validate tariff classification
- Review commercial documentation
- Coordinate U.S. clearance through trusted partners
- Ensure bonded cargo moves correctly
Customs is built into the freight plan — not handled afterward.
Clear Communication
The question we remove:
“Who has the shipment now?”
Our Toronto-based team tracks every phase and communicates proactively. You do not call multiple providers for updates.
Why This Structure Matters
Carrier schedules tighten. Cut-offs move. Regulations change.
When different providers handle each phase, risk multiplies.
A connected freight ecosystem reduces:
- Release delays
- Storage costs
- Documentation errors
- Final-mile confusion
It increases:
- Accountability
- Visibility
- Speed of response
End-to-End Canadian Control
If your freight arrives from Asia, Europe, or the U.S., we:
- Coordinate ocean or air arrival
- Manage customs clearance
- Arrange bonded or direct drayage
- Deliver via FTL or LTL
- Confirm POD
One structure. One team. One accountable partner.
