GCT Deltaport
GCT Canada · Vancouver · CAVAN
Rail dwell dominates Vancouver. Before disputing anything, confirm whether the clock running is the carrier tariff or the terminal storage tariff — the defences are different.
Which clock is whose
Terminal storage at Deltaport is separate from carrier demurrage, and most Canadian filings count working days rather than calendar days.
Gate & appointments
Appointment gate with a large on-dock rail operation; rail dwell dominates the dwell profile.
Chassis
Trucker-owned chassis are the norm in Canada, so detention economics differ from the US.
What is usually reversible
Working-day counting means weekends and statutory holidays should not consume free time — recount the days before paying.
Stuck at GCT Deltaport?
Don’t accept unfair demurrage.
Vancouver has seen heavy congestion this period. If a carrier is billing you storage for days when you couldn’t secure an appointment or a chassis, those charges may be reversible under OSRA 22 billing rules.
Pilot intake currently full — the free audit stays free. Pilot clients keep 100% of their first recovery in exchange for a review. No sign-in, no card, $0 upfront.
