DP world India launches new multimodal service

DP World has introduced a new Indian multimodal service, SARAL-2, which connects Chennai to the National Capital Region (NCR) and features a daily rail freight service with a capacity of 500 TEU a week. Last November the company launched SARAL-1 which links South Gujarat to markets in and around NCR.

The SARAL operation leverages DP World’s ability to deliver multimodal services by integrating coastal shipping, rail and truck operations to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and enhance supply chain efficiencies. The SARAL-2 rail link connects Mundra port to NCR, with a coastal shipping service then used to transport containers to and from Chennai.

This second service is a joint initiative between Avana Logistek, part of Unifeeder, a DP World company, and DP World’s rail freight services, and aims to offer a package of logistics solutions, bringing India’s northern markets closer to the southern region. DP World will also provide cargo owners with a sustainability profile that highlights the reduction of CO2 emissions achieved by each user of the SARAL service.
