MUMBAI: The PSA Global operated Bharat Mumbai Container Terminals (BMCT) achieved yet another mile stone in Rail volumes, handling around 16,065 TEUs in 107 Rakes during the month of July 2020 surpassing its own record of handling 13,601 TEUs in previous month. 
 
This latest milestone was achieved on the back of the July 2019 agreement for inter-terminal haulage of mixed train boxes within JNPT terminals, whereupon seamless transfers by BMCT contributed to a steady increase in rail volumes handled.
 
The increased rail volumes are also a testament to BMCT’s sustained efforts to develop and enhance new rail service routes and products by working alongside customers and stakeholders. This includes opening up new routes from BMCT to new Inland Container Depots (ICD) such as in Hazira and Dahej, offering services like empty container repositioning to ICDs, dedicated weekly trains to key ICDs, and railing of re-consolidated import boxes from Container Freight Stations to ICDs.
