: Container carrier Safmarine will ship 80 cryogenic tanks to the United States later this year through the Kattupalli Port here.
Safmarine will be delivering the tanks for Cryolor Asia Pacific in Charleston by December this year, a company statement said.
The company recently undertook a feasibility study to determine the best possible route for the shipment. It sourced 'low bed trucks' for the movement of the out of gauge (OOG) cargo through the Kattupalli Port.
"Over the years, we have been providing the best logistical solutions which adhere to global standards. We have undertaken a study specially to ensure faster and smoother delivery of this OOG cargo," Safmarine India, Managing Director, Bimal Kanal said in the statement.
Safmarine has cut the transit time by four days from the earlier 36-day journey from Chennai to Charleston in this project, the release said.
