In the hinterland, a majore significant change was in respect of Garhi Harsaru ICD which was bought over by Gateway Distripark Limited who, with this facility, will enter hinterland operations for the first time.

CONCOR - The Multimodal Logistics Professionals

 

Ever since globalization transformed the transport sector, national boundaries have become permeable to penetration by trade, creating the need for flexible transport solutions. Inter modalism and containerization were the by-products of this era and were poised to meta morphosize transport of "general cargo", moving it 'seamlessly' through sea and land arteries. Forty years ago, the physical process of exporting or importing goods was arduous. Goods needed to be transported by lorry to the port, unloaded into a warehouse and then reloaded into the ship 'piece by piece'.

 

Malcolm McLean's idea of containerization changed the basics of cargo transport by standardizing the dimensions of the container and simultaneously improving the productivity of ports by mechanizing handling of container-carrying 'cellular' ships and reducing their handling to a few hours only. Unitisation helped elimination of multiple handling of cargo and made transfers quick, cheap and easy. As containerization came to stand for 'cargo care', it grew by leaps and bounds the world over.

 

Indian Railway's strategic initiative to containerize cargo transport put India on the multi-modal map for the first time in 1966. Given the continental distances in India (almost 3000 km from North to South and East to West), rail transport could be the cheaper option for all cargo over medium and long distances, especially if the cost of inter-modal transfers could be reduced. Containerized multi-modal door-to-door transport provided the ideal solution to this problem. It was this idea that saw the Indian Railways entering the market for moving door-to-door domestic cargo in special DSO containers starting in 1966.

 

Though the first ISO marine container had been handled in India at Cochin as early as 1973, it was in 1981 that the first ISO container was moved inland by the Indian Railways to India's first Inland Container Depot (ICD) at Bangalore, also managed by the Indian Railways.

 

Expansion of the network to 7 ICDs by 1988 saw increase in the handling of containers, and along the way, a strong view had emerged that there was a need to set up a separate pro-active organization for promoting and managing the growth of containerization in India.

 

 

Subject 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.

 

The company was set up with the objective of developing multi modal logistics support for India's International and Domestic containerized cargo and trade. The task was to provide customers with the advantages of direct interaction and door to door services that formed the backbone of road transport, while capitalizing on the robust and more economical option of rail movement on the Indian Railways network.

 

Subject currently provides the only means by which shippers may obtain containerized freight transportation by rail in India. Though rail is the mainstay of their transportation plan, road services are also provided according to market demand and operational exigencies. Subject also operates container terminals across the country to cater to the needs of the trade, whether in the EX-IM or the domestic business.

 

Subject's main strengths can be characterized as

 

Ř       Its ability to provide modal choice (road or rail or air) according to the needs of the shipper and lead from the port;

Ř       Its strong relationship with Indian Railways coupled with an MoU providing for guaranteed transits on 'liner corridors';

Ř       The 'right of way' available to its 'carrier' Indian Railways, where road is plagued by poor physical infrastructure and incessant waits at check posts;

Ř       A dedicated network of state-of-the-art terminals across the country to capture traffic at the production / consumption centres;

Ř       A distinct cost advantage offered by SUBJECT CFSs to users by virtue of their location in the ICD premises (which eliminates multiple handling and transportation); and

Ř       Excellent manpower resource: Professional management team, experts trained in multimodal logistics, lean manpower.
