APM Terminals Pipavav receives the first train from Morbi

Maersk will now run the rail service which connects the ceramics exporters in Morbi through Maliya to Port Pipavav once every ten days and assist the shippers to connect to the Gulf, African, and European markets.

APM Terminals Pipavav received the new rail service commenced by Maersk and operated by PRCL connecting the exporters from the ceramics heartland of Morbi through a Private Freight Terminal at Maliya.

The rail service resulted from the collaboration of the three crucial stakeholders, Maersk with its ocean and landside transportation expertise APM Terminals Pipavav having a strategic location as well as a preferred partner with superb connectivity and productivity, and PRCL as an efficient rail partner.
