The call at BMCT offers options for both domestic shipments and international transhipment.
BMCT's General Manager Sivakumar Kaliannan said, "We are very pleased to welcome PIX1 to Bharat Mumbai Container Terminals. Before BMCT's startup, capacity limitations at Nhava Sheva meant there were very few regular coastal service calls. With Shreyas PIX 1, domestic shippers now have the option of moving their shipments from truck to ship and can enjoy a cheaper and more environmentally-friendly transport option. We will also be working closely with Shreyas to develop transhipment options and allow carriers to increase connectivity and rationalise service calls on the West Coast."
CEO of Shreyas Shipping, Captain VK Singh stated, "Shreyas is pleased to commence its coastal service calls at BMCT in JNPT. We are targeting both EXIM and domestic trades and see these markets as having great potential which, with BMCT's new capacity, we are now able to capture. Shreyas is also playing its part in the Sagarmala initiative by promoting coastal shipping in this way."Posted On:19-Oct-2018
