IntermodeX Develops a New Logistics Facility
IntermodeX is excited to share the plans for its latest venture: the LinX facility, a state-of-the-art transload and logistics center situated at a prime location on the Port of Prince Rupert. This strategic development aims to bolster services for global cargo owners, ocean carriers, and freight forwarders while capitalizing on the natural advantages offered by the Prince Rupert gateway.

The LinX facility is targeted for completion in Q1 2027. Spanning over 30 acres, this impressive development will feature a comprehensive 100-door facility designed to facilitate seamless transloading of both import and export goods between North America and the Asia-Pacific region. Additionally, it will serve as the flagship entity within the newly unveiled South Kaien Import Logistics Park (SKILP), established through a collaborative venture between the Port of Prince Rupert Authority and the Metlakatla Development Corporation.
Partnership and Project Significance
Ryan Leighton, the SKILP Director, expressed enthusiasm about partnering with IntermodeX, noting, "Their extensive global footprint and experience in logistics are vital to the mission of SKILP and will propel future advancements in logistics capabilities." IntermodeX's involvement is seen as a major strength by local authorities as they aim to enhance their service offerings.

He emphasized that IntermodeX's capabilities will significantly contribute to the increase in container volumes and the overall competitiveness of the port.

IntermodeX aims to enhance supply chain resilience by establishing vital connections between Asia and major distribution centers in Eastern Canada and the U.S. Midwest. Matthew May, President of IntermodeX, pointed out that the Port of Prince Rupert stands as North America's nearest access point to Asia, making initiatives like LinX essential to improving supply chain efficiency while minimizing disruptions.
