Special Secretary Logistics speaks to audience extensively on how
his department will deal with the challenging task of improving
logistics scenario.
After a difficult and challenging 2018, industry forsees a further push in digitalisation, more initiatives from Government on ease-of-doing business and greater investment into logistics infrastructure.

Political leaders, diplomats and industry experts from India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka reiterated the need to improve regional trade, remove trade barriers and promote regional integration

Cabotage relaxation, increased coastal cargo movement, growing containerisation of cargo are all cumulatively contributing to the sharp rise in container growth in India despite the challenges of over capacities at Indian ports and sluggish exports. Container traffic is expected to drive the overall volume growth in the next five years.

The inaugural session set the tone for day-long deliberations that focussed on some of the recent changes and trends witnessed in the Indian containerised trade

Logistics and supply chain is the latest sector which is fast adapting and ready to experiment with its business model by implementing blockchain.

Globally, Port Community Systems are managed and maintained by operators who are neutral, independent, and a trusted third party

With Petroleum and LNG import on a growth trajectory, liquid cargo handling at eastern ports needs to catch up with west coast terminals to fuel oil and gas-based economic growth.

Direct Port Delivery (DPD) has been introduced with the noble intention of reducing congestion at the ports and bringing down cost and time for shippers, but CFS claim they are still the essential cog in the wheel and very much relevant for the success of DPD
