Four logistics companies have won the bid for 5 routes
1600 importers to benefit from the system
The Jawahar Lal Nehru Port Trust has been working on an
innovative transport solution to achieve seamless and faster movement of cargo
from the port to respective destinations through Direct Port Delivery. Four
successful bidders have won the mandate for five routes- from JNPT to Gujarat,
to Goa and Bengaluru, to Nashik, Nagpur, Aurangabad, Indore and Hyderabad, to
Ahmednagar and to local regions in and around Mumbai. A meeting of these
bidders was held at JNPT last week to take stock of the preparedness for the
roll out of the new system from May 2018.
DPD is increasingly being accepted as the optimal way of
transporting cargo directly from the port to the importers and accounts for
close to 39 per cent of the total cargo traffic from JNPT at present. About
1600 importers who have opted for DPD mode of transport will benefit from this
process. An exporter or importer will be able to book his cargo sitting in his
office, through a technology backed platform. This new transport solution will promote
- Easy
co-ordination between port and customers
- End to
end delivery
- Faster
evacuation of containers from the Port area
- 24X7
Vehicle tracking
- Container
tracking through mobile
- 24x7
