APM Terminals Pipavav strengthens its position as the port of choice by receiving a block train from ICD Panipat

APM Terminals Pipavav received the first full block train for D.D. International Private Limited from ICD Panipat. The block train is operated by the DP world for Maersk to transport the cargo for D.D. International Private Limited.

APM Terminals Pipavav is well connected to the varied belts in north-west hinterland via rail. The new rail service further strengthens port’s connectivity to the hinterland and offers our customers an additional mode to expand their business in the global markets. The rail connection helps our customers in moving their containers safely, quickly, and sustainably. Moving the consignment by rail is safe and sustainable that not only reduces the congestion on the road but also helps in reduction in carbon footprint.

The train was flagged off by senior representatives of Maersk. The occasion was graced by the Senior Management from the train operator/terminal staff, and the port. The containers carrying rice are destined for Jeddah and Dammam in the Middle East.
