INDIA's busiest public container gateway, Nhava Sheva Port (JNPT), has announced it is in a position to handle double-stacked container freight trains out of its new integrated rail yard for all terminals in the harbour.
The port has five container terminals and mixed or combined train operations have been its mainstay for inland container depot (ICD) volumes.
The port authority noted that "the state-of-the-art integrated rail yard, designed to handle double-stacked container trains, is set to commence on the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) rail lines for all the five terminals."
The authority went on to say, "This advanced common rail yard will streamline operations and enhance efficiency at the port."
Nhava Sheva Port has been working hard to convert more truckloads to the rail mode to alleviate road congestion and improve container dwell times.
The port saw 1.52 million TEU during April-June, the first quarter of fiscal year 2023-24, up 3 per cent year on year. Rail volumes accounted for 16.6 per cent of total traffic, according to data obtained by Container News.
