A working intermodal terminal at the heart of America's inland river system. We move pig iron, steel, lumber, alumina, and bulk cargo from river to rail to road — reliably, safely, every day.
From bulk pig iron unloads to specialized steel coil handling, every move is planned, executed, and tracked through our operating system. We don't just move freight — we keep your supply chain predictable.
Two operating river docks. Bulk and breakbulk handling for pig iron, steel coils, lumber, alumina, bauxite, and project cargo.
Direct service via Indiana & Ohio (I&O / IORY) shortline. On-property rail spur with multiple loading positions and full switching service.
200,000 sq ft of warehouse capacity, drive-through truck access, and integrated drayage through our Dock2Truck affiliate.
Real-time operating cockpit gives customers shipment-level visibility from origin to delivery — barge ETAs, dock state, rail and truck status.
Our terminal sits on the Ohio River at 1707 Riverside Drive, Cincinnati — in the same stretch of riverfront where over 900 steamboats were built between 1820 and 1855. The 30-ton crane on our site dates to 1931, still working, still moving freight.
CBRT has operated here since 2009, and we're a founding member of CORBA (Cincinnati-Ohio River Business Association) since 2011. Our work continues a 200-year tradition of moving cargo through Cincinnati's port.
We serve customers across North America with predictable, well-managed transload operations — and we treat every shipment like it matters, because to our customers, it does.
Real capacity, real operations, real reliability.
Bulk, breakbulk, project cargo — if it moves on the inland river system, we can handle it. Reach out and let's talk through what you need.
