Container Corporation inks MoU with Bharat Mumbai Container Terminals

19 Dec 2017 Evaluate

Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bharat Mumbai Container Terminals (BMCT) to launch dedicated shuttle trains running between BMCT and CONCOR's Rail Transhipment Hubs (RTH) at Kathuwas and Jakhwada to consolidate containers railed between BMCT and North and West of India. 

BMCT will designate the Kathuwas and Jakhwada RTHs as BMCT's inland extended gateways for North and West India whilst CONCOR will ensure competitive rail freight costs and transit times between BMCT and the RTHs in addition to providing competitive pre / on-carriage rail options. The aggregation of all North and West India-destined boxes onto a single train at BMCT in the gateway port of JNPT will enhance train utilisation. At the same time, CONCOR will also be given priority handling of its trains at BMCT. The speedy transhipment at CONCOR's RTHs will ensure boxes reach their destination on time. The end result is that shipping lines using BMCT's rail terminal can enjoy a higher service level overall at a much more competitive cost.

CONCOR is a Public Sector Undertaking, under Ministry of Indian Railways which was incorporated in March 1988 under the Companies Act, and commenced operation from November 1989 taking over the existing network of 7 ICDs from the Indian Railways. From its humble beginning, it is now an undisputed market leader having the largest network of 66 ICDs/CFSs in India.
