Eng. Mahmood Al Bastaki, Director of Dubai Trade Department-Dubai World was the first presenter for the evening and his based his presentation on Dubai Trade and how it is Facilitating Trade & Logistics through Dubai as well as the Significance of Trade in UAE which revealed that Trade and Logistics is the sole business hub in UAE and Dubai especially.

Eng. Mahmood Al Bastaki also looked at the Value of Trade in Dubai as the main push to the Commitment of Dubai Government to the Trade & Logistics sector considering the fact that a lot of Evolution has occurred in the Trade sector. In early 2000, the need for efficient, transparent and secured cross border trade mandated the creation of a single window by the Ports, Customs & Free Zones Authority. ‘’This is growth and Development’’ he added

Eng. Mazen Altoukhi, General Manager of Green Car Rental-Dubai, equally gave an elaborate presentation on Green Car Rental as the present and Future way of going Green. He drew examples from the various ways at which this can be done considering the fact that we cannot do without cars ion our world of today and in the business milieu.

Eng. Mazen Altoukhi also looked at the differences between the Electric vehicle and the hybrid car, coming out with the clear distinction that the former will use the Electric motor for propulsion rather than being powered by the gasoline powered motor; while the later refers to an automobile that has both a conventional gas engine and a bank of batteries and shares the demand for power between these two sources.

Why Go Green?

‘’Charging up at home means never going to the gas station and electric cars require almost none of the maintenance, like oil changes emission checks that internal combustion cars require. Electric motors develop their highest torques from zero rpms, meaning fast (and silent) – Zero-60 acceleration times’’ he added.

To drive 36,000km with a gas engine car, compared to Hybrid and electric cars, Eng. Mazen Altoukhi emphasized that the benefits come in terms of Cost and CO2, which is the green move we are heading for.

Special invitees for the evening were Amith Horra, Marketing Manager, CSS Dubai and Deepu S Dev, Marketing Coordinator CSS Dubai.

“Attending such events is crucial in this day and age whereby Go Green initiatives are being commonly carried out by organizations from all industries worldwide. It is vital that we continue to educate ourselves on new trends and developments and share this with our colleagues. As an organization that is active in various Green initiatives across the CSS Group, Go Green is a realisation of CSS Group’s vision. I would like to thank Arabian Reach for hosting an informative and well executed event whereby we were able to network with industry leaders and innovators adopting various Go Green initiatives,” added Amith Horra, Marketing Manager, CSS Dubai.

New Roads For Logistics

DELHI


Delhi and the national capital region together contribute to huge export and import cargo for both sea and air. This attracts most of the major shipping lines, forwarders, NVOCC and custom agents to have their   corporate and Head offices in Delhi.  The market being of various commodities like electronics textiles, handicraft, automobiles, manufactured majorly by Samsung, LG, Moser Baer, Maruti, Honda Cars, the logistics and infrastructure have the huge potential to grow multifold.


Containerized cargo comprises of total 52000 TEUs, from Delhi and vicinity, with all the major ICDs having a share of their respective volumes. Earlier the cargo was primarily handled by ICD TKD and CFS PPG, but with the revolutionary growth of the Exim volumes this gave rise to the private players operating ICD and CFS in the vicinity.  Before 2003 there was one private CFS in Faridabad. Presently it has grown multifold with ICD operators such as ICD LONI; ICD DADRI; ICD GDL; ICD PATLI.  This indicates the growth of Exim cargo. Other projects which are coming up in Bhiwadi and Rewari, will also add to the Exim growth in the region.


Another important feature in the development of growth in logistics is the public private partnership, by which the Indian railways invited private players to operate containerized trains.  Prior to 2007 the only train operator was Concor. Now there are 15 companies in total, providing healthy and stiff competition and resulting in ending the monopoly of concor.  These additional players indirectly or directly benefit the trade in terms of services rendered and cost reduction. In addition to this, within next year, there will be a dedicated freight corridor from Delhi to Mumbai, which will be advantageous for speedy movement and double stacking of trains.  This will further enhance productivity, cost reduction, and speedy movement of cargo.


Apart from the growth in Exim throughput, infrastructure and private rail operators, there are still challenges being faced by the trade fraternity from the government, be it the charges levied by Indian railways, or the ban imposed by DGFT. These require a good amount of improvement. As compared to the global segment, our logistics cost is still the highest by 25%.  More transparency in decision making is required by the government bodies to further strengthen the trade.


In a very short span of time, the India operations of Console Shipping Services Pvt. Ltd, has grown by leaps and bounds. Console Shipping Services, Delhi comprising a team of about 30 qualified professionals have put in their hard work in making CSS Delhi   a known service provider among the trade with expertise in consolidation and FCL Movement both inbound and outbound under the leadership and vision of Nitin Bajpayee (General Manager-Export); Rajesh Arora (General Manager-Import) and a highly motivated team having excellent relations with the lines, and government bodies. CSS Delhi,   with this combination of experts and experienced team, will achieve success in becoming one of the most preferred service providers in North India.
