Rajkot: After a lack of severe containers and high transport fares, nearly 60 custom home agents (CHA) have joined hands to be placed in sequence by adopting bulk cargo transportation.
Charter charters carry 20,000 tons for two to four weeks as needed, while containers carry 24 tons of cargo.
According to new settings, Chas added the charge of their clients in a jumbo bag on a specific date that the ship departed.
Previously, Chas would rent a ship but for limited clients, however, they were now aggressively organizing bulk cargo transportation to make affordable export.
Container is a box for easy transportation from limited quantity cargo exports.
But exporters who send a few tons prefer bulk cargo and don’t need a container.
In general, the maximum Indian exports take place in a container and lack, exports have become unusable.
Ashish Joshi, one of Chas, told Tii, “In this new setting, an exporter that will send 500 tons every week must export 2,000 tons once a month.
We collect their cargo and store it in the port warehouse.
Warehouse facilities can be very good and price Also affordable.
We collected all cargo over five hours to be exported together.
“According to Chas, the exporter found a ‘break bulk’ cheaper than the recruitment container.
The warehouse and port handling fees are around 30 percent cheaper in the DPT compared to other ports.
The main commodities are exported in ‘bulk break’ including rice, sugar, edible salt, minerals, technical items, and tiles, among others.
The main destination is Nigeria, Mombasa, Dar Es Salaam, Egypt, Turkey etc.
“When there is no lack of containers, it can be used to handle 40,000 to 50,000 tons of grain commodities in a month.
Currently in the ‘Break bulk’, this port handles around 2 lakh tons of Margo in a month.
Previously, the same cargo was used to exported Mungra Port, Pipavav and Hazira in the container, “Joshi added.
Another Cha, Balaji Naidu said that the biggest Hiccup was lacking.
“In this new setting, we rent ships for certain purposes and release them in the destination.
The ship’s owner found another cargo in the destination port.” Vice president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Rajkot (RCCI), Parth Ganatra said, “Break Mass is 100 percent benefit All sectors.
All technical items are not feasible for bulk break, but if other commodities using this system will relieve shortcomings for techniques.
We urge the government to encourage this setting to handle lack of containers.
