Overall coal logistic chain involves movement of coal from mine to nearby washery or coal handling plant for value addition. Subsequent to that coal is moved to dispatch point which can be a railway siding, port or inland waterways terminal using road, conveyor, merry-go-round (MGR) train and rail.
Transportation Methods
Bulk Carriers:The primary method for transporting coal is via bulk carriers, which are designed to accommodate large volumes. Our fleet includes modern vessels equipped to safely transport various types of coal across global waterways.
Rail Transport : Rail is often the backbone of coal logistics, providing an efficient means of moving coal from mines to ports or directly to power plants. We utilize a network of railroads to ensure seamless transportation and reduce dependency on road transport.
Road Freight :For short distances and final distribution, we deploy specialized trucks that are equipped to handle coal safely, ensuring it reaches its destination on time.
Logistics Management
Route Optimization :Our logistics experts employ advanced routing software that analyzes various factors, including distance, traffic patterns, and environmental regulations, to determine the most efficient routes for coal transportation.
Inventory Management :We implement robust inventory management systems that monitor coal stocks at various points in the supply chain, allowing for just-in-time delivery and reducing storage costs.
Supply Chain Coordination :Effective communication and coordination between all stakeholders—including mines, transport logistics, customers, and regulatory bodies—ensure smooth operations and enhance overall supply chain efficiency.
