Krishnapatnam Port Company Ltd (KPCL) said it has launched a direct bi-weekly rail service between ICD Bengaluru and the port in association with state-owned Container Corporation (CONCOR). It will run a shuttle service to Maersk Salalah, catering to the demand from business houses in and around Bangalore.
The newly launched service will reduce the transportation time to 48 hours for both import and export transits after the discharge of the vessel and will benefit heavy cargoes, which otherwise face regulatory issues due to the weight restrictions via road transport.
The move is expected to help the customers to save money on each container and also eliminate the chances of pilferage, which has been a major issue in case of road transits.
