CONCOR successfully bridges the logistical gap between Indian Main Land and Andaman

NEW DELHI : In a significant development for India’s logistics and maritime transport sector, CONCOR has successfully bridged the logistical gap between Chennai and Port Blair with the successful despatch of it’s first ICE BATTERY container with set temperature of 5°C from Chennai to Sri Vijayapuram (Port Blair) on 26-12-2024.

This breakthrough aims to revolutionize the transportation of goods between the Indian mainland and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, significantly improving the efficiency, sustainability, and reliability of this vital shipping route.

The introduction of the ICE BATTERY containers is expected to address several logistical challenges that have long affected the Chennai-Port Blair shipping route. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, being isolated and dependent on sea transport, have faced limitations in the regularity and efficiency of supply chain operations, particularly for temperature sensitive cargo. With the new ICE Battery containers, goods can now be transported more reliably, thanks to the container’s built-in energy storage systems.
