Rail Transport Solutions by Bismarck World
In this highly modern and industrially developed world, the need for logistics is ever-increasing. Road, sea, or air are all being considered based on the needs of the trade. With our multimodal transport system, we offer various services to move our clients’ business forward.
Considering transportation via rail, we have well-honed ourselves to understand and excel in the various intricacies that come with rail logistics services in India. Our rail transport offerings are reliable, scalable, and environmentally friendly. With our pan-India network and extensive industry partnerships, we provide rail transport solutions that are cost-effective and safe.
Our expertise spans rail freight services for a wide range of commodities using specialised containers such as ISO tanks, dry containers, and flexi bags. Our services also include picking the right container for our client’s goods that are to be transported, thus optimising logistics services and keeping the focus on the client and the goods they trade in.
Comprehensive Rail Freight Services
Our rail freight forwarding services in Mumbai and across India seamlessly connect production centres, ports, and consumption markets, making the trade easier. The details of the various services that fall under the rail freight category are as follows:
1. Domestic Rail Freight Services
We provide door-to-door rail freight forwarding services in India, with dedicated rail corridors and fast-track routes. Operating in both Full Container Load (FCL) and Less than Container Load (LCL), we chart out the best plan for our clients based on their requirements. First-mile and last-mile transport of bulk commodities, palletised goods, and specialised cargo is smoothly carried out by us.
2. ISO Tank Rail Freight Services
To transport liquid cargo safely and efficiently, we have a specialised rail transport solution, i.e., ISO tanks. These are suitable for petrochemicals, food-grade liquids, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. We can transport dangerous and non-dangerous liquids through pressure-tested, stainless steel ISO tanks without any risk. With features like temperature control and insulation options, our highly trained staff ensures your goods reach their destination securely.
3. Dry Container Rail Freight Services
Dry containers are used to transport a variety of products, right from raw materials to finished goods. Our dry container rail logistics services move across India’s rail network, efficiently transporting goods to major rail corridors, making us a valued partner for dry container rail services. Our standardised container solutions offer secure, scalable, and cost-effective options for transportation needs. The ease of loading/unloading services outperforms other modes of transport.
4. Flexi Bag Rail Freight Services
Another advancement in our bag of innovations is the use of flexi bags. A flexi bag is a large, thin, flexible plastic bag that can be placed inside dry containers to transport non-hazardous liquids and powders safely. By converting regular containers into cost-effective, single-use bulk liquid carriers, flexi bags eliminate the need to return empty containers to their origin. This reduces reverse logistics costs. Flexi bags are also spill-proof, and at Bismarck World, we take special care to load, seal, and unload them to avoid any losses.
