APL launches Indian double-stack service
APL IndiaLinx, the rail operations arm of APL Logistics, has launched its first double-stack container train service in India.
In the middle of last month, 90 40ft boxes were transported two-high on a train from Mundra Port on the west coast to an inland rail container terminal at Kishangarh, near Delhi.
The double-stack operation followed Indian Railways (IR)’s recent decision to allow stacktrain access along the Mundra-Kishangahr rail corridor as part of a bigger project to provide a freight-dedicated network of railroads with double-stack capability connecting key gateway ports and major North Indian industrial centres before the end of 2016.
