From its humble beginning, it is now an undisputed market leader having the largest network of 57 ICDs/ CFSs in India offering scheduled and on demand rapid rail and road services between the hinderland and ports, and between major metros. In addition to providing inland transport by rail for containers, it has also expanded to cover management of Ports, air cargo complexes and establishing cold-chain.

The company developed multimodal logistics support for India's International and Domestic containerization and trade. CONCOR's core business is characterised by three distinct activities, that of a carrier, a terminal operator, and a warehouse operator. CONCOR had been certified to ISO/IEC 27001: 2005 standard for establishing and maintaining Information Security Management System (ISMS) for its IT functionality.

In addition, the first phase of expansion and upgradation of ICD a Tondiarpet in Chennai was commissioned and completed during the same period. During the year 1994, the company made a small footstep as a Multi modal transport operator and also as a consultancy organization for multi-modalism. The Government of India disinvested 20% of its equity shares in the company.  

 
A new CFS was commissioned in 1995 at New Mulund (Mumbai) and a new export warehouse of the company also started at ICD, Sabarmati. In the same year company obtained approval from World Bank to increase the quantity of wagons to be procured in the second Tranche from 750 to 1500.

The new ICDs were commissioned at Agra in November of the year 1996, linked with ports directly by road ICD Tughlakabad by rail and another ICDs were commissioned at Nagpur in January of the year1997, a rail linked with the twin ports of Mumbai and SNPT. In January of the year 1997, the 'CONTRACK' services were launched by the company offering movement of piecemeal domestic cargo in containers through specialized, scheduled and reliable container-rail services.  

 
Two new ICDs of the company were commissioned, one at Moradabad in February of the year 1998 and the other at Malanpur/ Gwalior in June of the year 1998. Second bonded warehouse was commissioned at ICD/Whitefield. The Company had launched a daily service between Chennai port and Whitefield ICD, Bangalore in the year 1999. During the year 2000, company had fashioned a separate domestic division to give a major heighten to the company's growing interest in domestic container movement. The Company had introduced an express parcel service vans between Chennai and Delhi. Private sector warehousing company, Continental Warehousing Corporation had entered into a strategic alliance with company in the identical year 2000 for handling domestic cargo. The Company had launched a fixed-day fixed-time weekly freight service between Shalimar (Howrah) and  Mumbai and Shalimar and  Ahmedabad with transshipment at Nagpur during the year 2001.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

The Indian Multimodal scene has witnessed the advent of multiple container train operators since 2006. Presently, there are 15 container train operators (besides CONCOR) who have signed Concession Agreements with Indian Railways for running of Container Trains for a period of 20 years, extendable by another 10 years. Almost all the 15 players have commenced their train services. Some of these players have set up their own terminal facilities also. While the operations of the new entrants to the business started in a limited way by two operators in April, 2007, the number has now grown to 15 excluding CONCOR and the volumes being transported by these operators have continuously grown with the induction of new rakes. These operators have been using Goods Sheds/terminals of Indian Railways as well, for their operations. With the emergence of a number of new ports, viz., Mundra, Pipavav, Vizag, Tuticorin, Vallarpadam and a few other ports on the west cost, the hinterland connectivity in the country is expected to increase resulting in increased levels of hinterland penetration of container traffic in the years to come.

 

With the changed external business environment, the company placed emphasis on providing total logistics and transport solutions to its customers by exploring the possibilities of expanding the presence of the company in all the segments of the transport value chain in the EXIM as well as Domestic segments. Possibilities have been explored for strategic alliances, both for the optimal utilization of infrastructure as well as for expansion into other segments of the value chain.

 

EXIM AND DOMESTIC BUSINESS

 

The unprecedented recession in the world economy had impacted the EXIM business of the country during last two fiscals. 2010-11 witnessed a change with overall EXIM traffic reaching a level of 20,18,551 TEUs (in 2010- 2011) as compared to 18,82,277 TEUs handled the last financial year, which was 7.24% higher than the last year’s performance. This increase in the EXIM business of CONCOR was inspite of gradual induction of rolling stock by other train operators. With continuance of the recessionary trend and the stiff competition from the other train operators, it will be a challenge to retain their share and growth. In order to attract more volumes, the company will continue to match and strive to surpass the services offered by other operators in terms of quality of services and pricing.

 

Domestic booking was affected by introduction of commodity-specific rail haulage structure by Indian Railways in December, 2010. Total traffic in this segment during 2010-11 was 5,43,746 TEUs, as against 5,38,970 TEUs handled in 2009-10, reflecting a marginal growth of 0.89%. Nevertheless, as a result of judicious pricing and distribution, the revenue in Domestic segment witnessed a modest growth of 3.65% in the year 2010-11 as compared to the previous year.

 

With the sustained efforts of the Management and Staff of the Company, the performance achievements during the year under review on all the Performance Parameters have matched the ambitious targets set in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the Government. The Company expects to achieve “Very Good” MoU rating for the year 2010-11.

 

OUTLOOK

 

CONCOR’s total throughput for the year 2010 – 2011 was 25,62,297 TEUs as against 24,21,247 TEUs handled during last fiscal, reflecting a growth of 5.83%. This helped the company cross the milestone of handling over 2.5 million TEUs during a single fiscal, the only hinterland logistic operator in India to do so. In tonnage terms, this resulted in their handling an all time high figure of 27.75 million tons of containerized cargo.

 

Component wise, the overall growth of 5.83% was made possible on account of segmental growth of 7.24% in the

EXIM throughput. This has been on account of slight improvement in the international scenario which helped us in

taking the increase upto 7.24% from the meager level of growth of over 1.47% recorded during 2009-10. However, there was a slump in domestic growth which was confined to meager increase of 0.89% in 2010-11, as against a very healthy growth of over 18.9% recorded during 2009-10. While this dip was essentially a result of some changes in policies relating to rating of some commodities, the company has already started initiating a slew of measures to give impetus to the domestic segment.

 

Overall, the throughput grew by 5.83% during 2010-11 as against 4.9% growth recorded during fiscal 2009-10.

BACKGROUND:

 

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.

PLANS FOR A SHIP REPAIR COMPLEX FOR WILLINGDON

 

04 October 2011

 

KOCHI, Oct. 4 -- Foreseeing a steady flow of business in the ship repair sector, the Cochin Port Trust has been mooting a proposal to set up a Ship and Container repair complex at Willingdon Island in Kochi. The ambitious proposal has been included in the master plan for development of the port.

 

"The binding requirements of periodic repairs of commercial ships ensure a steady revenue. Due to erosion and other factors, ships require periodic inspection and maintenance of hull and machinery. Kochi has certain advantages when it comes to ship repair. Apart from being a major port, Kochi has the advantage of proximity to the International East West shipping routes.

 

The port offers potential traffic of vessels ranging from barges to Panamax bulk carriers," pointed out officials. Being in close proximity with the International Container Transshipment Terminal (ICTT) offers an added potential for the container repair yard.

 

As per the layout proposed in the master plan, an area of 45 acres east of Mattanchery channel including the existing dry dock and ship repair facility has been allotted for the purpose. The new facility will be developed with minimum dislocation of the existing workshop and repair yard. The proposal suggests setting up of a dry dock which will be able to service commercial vessels, offshore supply and service vessels, Coast Guard and Naval ships, port service vessels and dredgers. The dry dock should have a capacity to dock 30 to 40 vessels annually. Services including under water hull inspection, cleaning and painting of hull will be carried out here.

 

The container repair yard is planned to cater to the needs of shipping lines calling at ICTT and Container Corporation of India. The proposed yard, to come up at 4.85 acres of land, will be able to repair 1000 TEUs at any point of time. The yard will be close to the repair workshop.

 

The presence of Cochin Shipyard, one of the major ship building facility in the country offers significant advantage in terms of presence of ancillary industries for the proposed yard.

 

Also the Sethusamudram project has the potential to increase traffic of coastal vessels, said Port Trust officials. Published by HT Syndication with permission from New Indian Express.

 

FIRST TRAIN FROM TUTICORIN REACHES VALLARPADAM

 

22 September 2011

 

KOCHI, Sept. 22 -- The first train carrying export containers from Inland Container Depot (ICD), Tuticorin, reached the International Container Transshipment Terminal (ICTT) at Vallarpadam on Wednesday.

 

The train from Tuticorin came with 90 TEUs export containers to be loaded to ships Lal Bahadur Shasthri and OEL Dubai berthed at ICTT. Service from

 

Tuticorin gains significance in the backdrop of a move for introducing count restriction

 

At Tuticorin Container Terminal affecting transshipments via sea to Tuticorin to and from the ICTT. Apart from this, there are four weekly services from Bangalore ICD.

 

"Container Corporation of India (CONCOR), which operates the train services has been very aggressively supporting the trade. When other ports like Chennai and Tuticorin are facing various issues including congestion, the ICTT has been able to maintain very high productivity of approx 30 moves per hour per crane and an average turnaround of 45 minutes for the trucks arriving at the Terminal," said DP World authorities who operates the ICTT

 

They claimed that the EXIM trade in the hinterland previously using Chennai and Tuticorin have now started diverting their volumes to ICTT Vallarpadam due to delay and subsequent cost escalation being faced at other ports.

 

There has been a considerable increase in the volume of cargo sent to the ICTT from Bangalore ICD in the last ouple of months. From one train a week with a volume of approx150-200 TEUs per month, the number of train services have increased to 3 fixed day trains per week with an additional train on an adhoc basis which altogether bringing over 1200 TEUs per month.

HAL BEGINS CARGO SERVICES AT NASHIK AIRPORT

 

21 September 2011

 

New Delhi, Sept. 21 -- The state-run defence aircraft maker Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) today announced the launch of commercial air cargo operations from its Nashik airport and said it expects to open regular passenger services shortly, primarily flight diversions from Mumbai.The cargo services is being managed by Halcon, a joint working group between HAL, state-run Container Corporation (Concor) and Clarion Solutions, part of the leading shipping and logistics major, Transworld Group.

 

"Through Halcon, we are pleased to announce the commencement of air cargo services from our Ojhar airport in Nashik. The airport is well equipped and capable of handling AN-124s (the heaviest transport aircraft in the world)."We have invested nearly Rs 700.000 Millions to upgrade the existing infrastructure like creating additional parking space and medical facilities," HAL Managing Director PV Deshmukh said here."

 

Being strategically located and having state-of-the- art infrastructure, the Ojhar airport will definitely have an edge, in view of the congestion that every airline faces today at Mumbai airport for night parking, landing and cargo movement," he said. Clarion Solutions will be the cargo terminal operator, the three companies said here today, adding they will work on a revenue sharing basis.

 

The airport has one of the longest runways, 3,100 m, which will be soon upgraded to 4,000 m, Deshmukh said.He said HAL has applied for DGCA permission to seek flight diversions from the Mumbai airport, which are now being handled at the Ahmadabad airport.
