Multimodal
Railway Rake Handling & Loading at Kandla Port
Rake placement, loading, unloading and dispatch coordinated directly with railway authorities and freight teams.
How we work it
Rake work is a clock problem. From placement to release you have a fixed free time, and demurrage starts the moment you slip. We keep loaders, dumpers and a labour gang standing by so loading starts within minutes of placement, day or night.
What the scope covers.
Rake loading
BOXN, BCN and open wagon loading of salt, clinker, minerals and bagged cargo within free time.
Rake unloading
Fast unloading, wagon cleaning and yard stacking with owned excavators and payloaders.
Railway coordination
Indent follow-up, placement liaison and RR documentation with railway and port authorities.
Parallel operations
Multiple rakes worked simultaneously alongside vessel operations without dividing supervision.

Questions we get asked.
Can you work rakes and a vessel at the same time?
Yes. Our fleet size and gang strength are sized for simultaneous vessel and multi-rake operations — this is routine work for us at Kandla.
Do you handle demurrage-sensitive free-time loading?
That is the core of the service. Equipment and labour are positioned before placement so loading begins immediately.
