The architecture style of this building is called Streamline Moderne and it reflects a style of the times when this location was built. Google Art Deco and Streamline Moderne and you will understand better. Streamline was always meant to have a nautical/space-age type of theming. My guess is because this is one of their main shipment centers, they wanted it to be shaped like a giant cargo ship.
I was told that it had to do with the company is sailing in to the future
