Today, Hamburg S'd sources chassis out of the New York and New Jersey Metro Pool for both merchant haulage as well as carrier conducted intermodal moves. Going forward, in and around the cities of New York & New Jersey, Hamburg S'd has revised its chassis provisioning policy. As of March 15, 2012 the company will no longer serve as a provider of chassis to shippers for cargo moving under merchant's haulage through area terminals and depots. Shippers, their agents or consignees, can procure equipment either directly from the Metro Pool via Trac Intermodal or from various other chassis vendors. Carrier provided intermodal moves will be unaffected by this change.
