Bulk/Dry Ship Loading
Transfer Facility For quality control and smooth product flow -- Valley Camp Terminal, Inc. has an exclusive dry bulk transfer facility that is fully enclosed for all weather handling.  There is a two-railcar gate opening device and 1,000 feet (305 meters) of track that is strictly for dry bulk movement.
The system has no direct drops, and there is a self-cleaning dust control system for the dumper pit. Continuous product flow occurs smoothly on epoxy coated slope sheets to conveyors, with a belt system that is a short distance to the ship loader.

All of this has been accomplished for one simple reason: to ensure that product separation, degradation and contamination, which are sometimes experienced at other facilities, will not occur at Valley Camp Terminal.
Loader System The fastest delivery -- With a loading rate of 4,000 tons per hour we offer you an exclusive loader system with dual quadrant ship loaders and the shortest distance from railcar to ship available.  Remember, a fast vessel loading means savings for you!
Another important point -- Valley Camp Terminal is the only Thunder Bay facility that can accommodate the new generation, high capacity 1,000-foot lakers.

The most cost-efficient transport -- When you combine our fully competitive throughput rates with the streamlined intermodal delivery network of both the CP and CN Rail, shippers can realize transportation savings of up to 35% over the direct rail alternatives!

Trucking services are available for dump and flat bed deliveries of various commodities and/or products as they are unloaded from rail at Valley Camp Terminal.
