Auto Operations
Metropolitan Stevedore Company has a long history handling automobiles. Before the modern RO/RO ramps of today’s PCTC’s (Pure Car/Truck Carriers), Metro employed the “old fashioned” lift-on, lift-off method of discharge and loading. From the original “Beetle” to the now forgotten name of “Datsun”, Metro was an early adapter.

Today, Metro employs large gangs of drivers and lashers to drive-off new cars from modern car carriers employed in ocean going services from the Far East to the West Coast and beyond. Today, we might be asked to conduct concurrent discharge and loading operations for several shippers. Multiple supervisory personnel are assigned to these more complex operations. Experienced superintendents and skilled organization is critical during yard congestion periods to simultaneously balance the discharge and loading requirements.

Autos, trucks, boats, yachts, trailers, modular homes, and other rolling stock arrive from all parts of country for export, while new cars roll off the ship into U.S. showrooms.

Highly valuable automobiles routinely get the excellent Metropolitan care that is a must for today’s shippers.
