Freight and logistics
Smarter freight systems to drive economic growth and environmental sustainability in an era of rapid change
Competitive ports and logistics
Using teams of economists, regulatory experts, modelers, and industry experts across all modes of transportation, we deliver objective guidance in the growing realm of maritime transportation and logistics. Our track record includes multiyear engagements with some of the world's largest container ports and waterfronts. From master plans in Hong Kong to market assessments in Mexico, we consult in every aspect of the global maritime sphere.
Freight planning and policy
Our integrated approach draws on expertise in trucking, rail, marine, aviation, and intermodal goods movement. We help agencies improve the efficiency of freight systems and advance freight policy and planning to support economic growth and environmental sustainability. ICF has supported evaluations of some of the most
important regulations affecting the freight transportation industry.
Designing for sustainability
ICF has played a major role in the design, implementation, and evaluation of environmental sustainability programs for freight. We have led a variety of emissions and energy-related studies focusing on truck, rail, and marine transportation. This experience means we can identify the most cost-effective and feasible emission reduction strategies for your region or industry.
