Major
container carrier Safmarine has recently announced that they will be working on
a behemoth project for Cryolor Asia Pacific. Safmarine will be delivering 80
Cryogenic tanks for Cryolor Asia Pacific from India to Charleston, USA by
December 2018.
Low
availability of low bed trucks along with the height of rail over bridges has
been a constant challenge in the smooth flow of OOG shipments via
Kattupalli. To overcome this, Safmarine undertook a feasibility
study to determine the best possible route to facilitate smooth flow of the OOG
shipment. The detailed study enabled the team of experts at Safmarine to successfully
overcome the infrastructure hindrances posed by rail over bridges to transport
OOG shipments from Katupalli port. Safmarine also sourced requisite
low bed trucks for this movement.
Commenting
on this, Bimal Kanal, managing director, Safmarine India, said, "At
Safmarine, addressing the needs of our valued customers is of prime importance.
Over the years, we have been providing the best logistical solutions which
adhere to global standards. We have undertaken a study specially to ensure faster
and smoother delivery of this OOG cargo. With an advantageous shorter transit
time our customers can look forward to new levels of improvement in their
entire supply chain."
On an
average, shipment takes 36 days from Chennai to Charleston, however with this project
Safmarine has cut that period by 4 days time, saving on cost and time.
