Innovative block train service launched
For the first time, APM Terminals Pipavav in India, Maersk and Pipavav Rail have joined forces to provide a block train service for a single consignee - Tinna Rubber.
APM Terminals Pipavav will provide rail infrastructure and connectivity from the Indian port to Sonepat via the new Western Dedicated Freight Corridor, while Maersk will offer customers a complete solution from ocean to last-mile delivery with custom house brokerage.
The first 48-wagon rake of specialist spine cars arrived at APM Terminals Pipavav this week. Spine cars are 25T axle load flat cars and new for India. They use a sturdy and lighter frame which increases a rake's carrying capacity by 7.4. (ben)
