A new model for urban freight
OCL connects rail, inland waterway, road and last mile delivery through a single, container-based system. Freight moves through the city without repacking, delay, or fixed infrastructure.
How it works
Containers are loaded once and moved through an optimised chain using the most appropriate modes available:
• Rail or trunk road for inbound freight
• Electric vans from suburban depots to city transfer points
• Electric vessels to central river locations (where available)
• Pierhead and kerbside drop-offs positioned close to demand
• Cargo bikes for final mile delivery
Each leg is optional. The system adapts to what's available — and what performs best.
Transfers take minutes. First delivery starts immediately.
No micro-hubs
OCL removes the need for permanent consolidation centres. Instead, it uses short-duration, on-demand transfer points at kerbside, depots and river piers.
• Reduces cost
• Removes real estate constraints
• Allows the network to flex with demand
Optimised end-to-end
• Fewer handovers
• Shorter routes
• Higher asset utilisation
• Faster first drop
• Lower cost per delivery
