Container Corporation of India (Concor) has stepped up the number of its services to Port Pipavav in Gujarat thanks to a spurt in traffic volume, reported The Hindu.
Yash Vardhan, director of international marketing and operation, said that the number of services between different inland container depots (ICDs) in the hinterland (northern and western regions) and the port was now close to two rakes a day, each direction, on an average.
The ICDs in the hinterland now connected to the port are located in Ahmedabad, Dadri, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Tughlakabad and Ludhiana.
“Besides, we run regular reefer trains from Dadri,” said Vardhan, pointing out that six reefer trains had moved so far from Dadri to Port Pipavav and the seventh one was currently loading.
