Early this month, Concor brought by train to Kolkata Dock System (KDS) a consignment of four 22-ft containers loaded with cotton yarn collected in Phillaur in Punjab for shipment to Bangladesh. At KDS, the consignments were unloaded from the 22-ft containers and reloaded into two 40-ft containers and the loaded boxes were put on Chittagong-bound, Mir Damad,' a 365-TEU vessel operated by the Seaways Shipping. An agreement to this effect was signed between the shipping line and Concor last month. The second shipment will take place shortly, it is learnt. Seaways, it is further learnt, has put one more vessel, Coastal Express' (capacity 224-TEUs), on the route. The Concor sources here hope that, subject to cargo inducement, it should be possible to handle three rakes of shipment a month.
