The digital container tracking solution of DMICDC Logistics Data Services (DLDS) has brought in its ambit Cochin Port, an initiative that will streamline the container logistics operations at one of the busiest ports of on the Arabian Sea.
Logistics Data Bank (LDB), the single-window tracking solution that has hugely improved operations in Indian container logistics, launched its services at the ports of Chennai, Visakhapatnam and Krishnapatnam this month.
Better visibility
With today’s inclusion of Cochin Port, LDB’s ICT-based services have become operational at seven ports of India at 15 port terminals.
The launch of LDB operations at the Cochin Port will create visibility and transparency in the container operations. All the stakeholders will benefit, Alkesh Sharma, CEO and Managing Director, DMICDC, said, adding that the company is going to make it operational in all other major ports.
LDB, which currently handles 70 per cent of India’s container volume, began its operations in the western corridor, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), and extended its container tracking services to Hazira and Mundra ports of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone. The extension of LDB’s services to India’s southern corridor follows a milestone of 10 million EXIM containers tracked by its single-window interface.
‘Efficiency booster’
M Beena, Chairperson, Cochin Port Trust, said the container tracking services would greatly boost efficiency among supply chain operations through advanced ICT technologies. Cochin Port is one of the busiest ports in the country and the introduction of LDB operations will bring in more efficiency within the process of exporting or importing shipment of goods and would thus benefit the stakeholders in the supply chain logistics down the line.
Widely known as a game-changer technology for the Indian logistics sector, LDB’s container tracking solution has helped reduced the port dwell time and the overall transportation time for export and import shipments.
