MUMBAI:
DMICDC Logistics Data Services (DLDS) has launched its Logistics Data Bank (LDB) container tracking service at the Bharat Mumbai Container Terminals (BMCT), the new container terminal built by Singapore’s PSA International Pte Ltd at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) in Mumbai.
DLDS is a joint venture between the Government of India, represented by the National Industrial Corridor Development and Implementation Trust (NICDIT), and Japan’s NEC Corporation. With this launch, the LDB service is now available across 10 Port terminals in the western industrial corridor, covering the 5 port terminals of JNPT and 5 port terminals in Mundra and Hazira under Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ), Gujarat.
BMCT expects the LDB service to bring in greater efficiencies in logistics. BMCT is striving to initiate new ideas and projects that will enhance the overall customer experience; with LDB operational at the terminal, it will provide greater visibility and transparency to the trade.
LDB is currently providing container visibility for approximately 70% of India’s total container volume through a single tracking system, and has, to date, covered more than 7 million containers across the western industrial corridor of India.
LDB is an innovative solution that helps importers and exporters know the whereabouts of their container through a single window on www.ldb.co.in LDB has transformed the way Indian Logistics Industry operates by integrating the entire supply chain through a single window platform.
The pan-India expansion of the project was announced on 18th December, 2017 and subsequently, the LDB project is proposed to be implemented across the major and minor container handling ports of India to leverage the benefits of visibility and enhanced analytics.
