Mumbai-based logistics service provider, Allcargo Global Logistics Ltd, is upgrading its container freight station (CFS) at Mundra in Gujarat by doubling its cargo handling capacity. The CFS currently has the capacity of a single warehouse of 6,125 sq metres with 19,125 sq metres of paved yard. With the commissioning of the second warehouse of 6,085 sq metres, the export handling capacity would go up to 4,000 TEUs per month.
This will increase the total handling capacity to 7,700 TEUs per month, the company said in a communique. At present, the total handling capacity that includes export, import and empty handling capacity is 4,100 TEUs per month.
"The expansion is a result of our existing CFS running optimally. In the last couple of years, the company has seen a consistent growth in our customers' overall business, resulting in an increased demand for more storage space, logistics solutions and value-added services. Also diverse clients such as retail, fast moving consumer goods, automotive, pharmaceutical and frozen foods have specialised needs. This expansion is designed to cater to such diverse needs," said Adarsh Hegde, Executive Director, Allcargo Global Logistics Ltd.
