INTRODUCTION

1.1 Industry Profile

India has emerged as one of the fastest developing markets in

the years to come, given its focus on infrastructure development,
streamlining easy of business norms, make in India initiative and strong
leadership at the center. Logistics as an important and crucial in the
wheel of economy will have the direct benefits in terms of growth and
new business opportunities. India’s Port and Container Freight Station
will play a significant role in the EXIM movement.

1.1.1Container Freight Station (CFS)

CFS is a place where containers are stuffed, de-stuffed and export,

import cargo take place with the growing volume of international trade.
A CFS is an extended arm of Port, where import, export goods are kept
till completion of their examination and clearance. The present paper
deals with changing logistical infrastructure and role of container freight
stations in the logistical development of our country.

Container freight station is a place where containers are been stored

and is used as a storage area where by the exporters or importers stores
their container in order to get an adequate demand for their product or
due to oversupply factor.

Container freight station is a custom bonded area where by stuffing and

de-stuffing of cargo takes place on the watch of the customs. CFS can be
located either near to the port area or far from port area. Functionally
there is no distinction between an ICD and CFS as both are transit
facilities, which offer services for containerization of break bulk cargo and
vice-versa. These could be served by rail and road transport. An ICD is
 generally located in the interiors (outside the port towns) of the country
away from the servicing ports. CFS, on the other hand, is an off dock
facility located near the servicing ports which helps in decongesting the
port by shifting cargo and Customs related activities outside the port
area.

1.1.2 Main Function of CFS

Receipt delivery of cargo the cargoes that are meant to move from CFS
are delivered to the concerned people according to their request made.

Stuffing and de-stuffing of containers the cargoes are being stuffed and
de-stuffed into the containers on the watch of customs authority. No
containers are meant to be stuffed or de-stuffed without the watch of
customs.

Customs clearance all the customs clearance are mandatory before

sending a container for Export as well as Import.

Consolidation and desegregation of LCL cargo there might be more

Exporters with one Importer or many Importers with one Exporter.
Therefore consolidations of all these cargoes will be done in CFS.The
containers have standardized dimensions. They can be loaded and
unloaded, stacked, transported efficiently over long distances, and
transferred from one mode of transport to another container ships, rail
transport flatcars, and semi-trailer trucks without being opened. The
handling system is completely mechanized so that all handling is done
with cranes and special forklift trucks. All containers are numbered and
tracked using computerized systems.
 Fig: 1.1

Temporary storage of cargo and containers Container’s can be stacked in

the CFS depending upon their need in future.

Reworking of containers Any kind of repair or rework can be done to

containers according to the request made by the shipping line operator
which thereby include their own charges.

Maintenance and repairs of container units The maintenance and repairs

of container units are also taken care of by CFS if there is a request made
by the particular shipping line. Charges are applied for indulging in these
activities as it is an ancillary service provided by the CFS.

1.1.3 Benefits of CFS:

 Services are received as a transit facility

 Customs clearance facility available near the port area.
 Reduced level of pilferage and demurrage
 No custom is required at gateway ports
 Issuance of through bill of lading by shipping lines, hereby resumi ng
full liability of shipments.
 Reduces overall level of movement of Empty containers
 Competitive transport cost.

3.5 Organizational Observation

3.5.1 Empty Container Booking Procedure

Once the cargo packed and ready for export, shipping makes
arrangements to ship the said goods to buyer’s place as per his purchase
order or Letter of Credit. He enquires with shipping lines or freight
forwarders to get the best services, if the freight terms are on ‘PRE PAID’
basis. He finalizes a carrier and confirms his acceptance of freight

The carrier request the shipping to book the container either online or by
email by providing details required by the carrier, After completion of
booking procedures, carrier provides a booking confirmation to the
shipper, by issuing a delivery order to pick up the container from their
empty container yard. Means, each shipper line has their own or hired
location/yard to park their empty containers. The booking
confirmation/delivery order to pick up empty container is mentioned the
place of yard/location where the empty container lies.

The shipper or his customs broker arrange a transport truck to move the
said empty container from carrier’s yard to his factory for stuffing. A
stack period is given by carrier to return back the stuffed container. Stack
period is the period allotted to ship authorities to return all stuffed
containers to port terminals for loading into a particular vessel. The
empty container is moved to CFS/ICD for stuffing.
3.5.2 Stuffing

Stuffing means ‘loading’ goods in to container or any other mode for

export. Once after moving cargo to container freight station, the cargo
will be unloaded in warehouse. Once after the completion of customs
clearance procedures, the carrier load the cargo to the container to move
final destination mentioned in the shipping bill. Stuffing takes place, if
the exporter move empty container to their factory for loading goods for
export. Wherever you find the word ‘Stuffing’ in export trade that means
‘Loading the Goods’.

3.5.2.1 CFS Stuffing

Once the cargo unloaded in to Container Freight Station for stuffing,

the customs house agents file documents with customs to complete
customs procedures. After obtaining LEO (Let Export Order) from
customs officials, as last procedure of customs clearance under export,
the customs house agent delivers the required documents to carrier.
Carrier files necessary documents with CFS to load the container. After
obtaining necessary permission, cargo will be loaded in to container.

3.5.2.2 Direct Stuffing

The truck carrying goods to export enters in the area of Container

Freight Station which is a customs bonded area. The customs official can
inspect the cargo and after necessary completion of customs procedure
and CFS procedures, cargo is directly loaded in to container. This is called
direct stuffing of cargo in Container Freight Station.

3.5.2.3 Factory Stuffing

The exporter can obtain necessary permission to move the empty

container from Container Freight Station (CFS) which is a customs
bonded area to the exporter’s factory. The stuffing of cargo will be
undertaken under the customs official’s supervision at factory premises.
Once after completion of stuffing cargo, the container is unloaded back
to the Container Freight Station to move the cargo to final destination.

3.5.3 De- Stuffing

De-Stuffing means ‘Unloading’ cargo either from container or any other

mode. Wherever you find the word ‘De- Stuffing’ that means ‘Unloading’
of cargo.

3.5.4 FCL (Full Container Load)

FCL means full container load. If an exporter has goods to

accommodate in one full container load, he books an FCL (Full Container
Load) to stuff his cargo, the complete goods in the said container owns
by one shipper. In an FCL owned by one shipper, the cargo in the
container need not have fully loaded cargo in the container. Let the cargo
be half loader or quarter loaded container, if booked by one shipper under
one shipment, the said shipment is called as FCL shipment.

3.5.5 LCL(Less Container Load)

LCL means Less Container Load. If a shipper does not have enough
goods to accommodate in a fully loaded container, he arrange with a
consolidator to book his cargo. This type of shipment is called LCL
shipment. The said consolidator arranges a Full Container Load (FCL)
with a main shipping carrier, and consoles the shipment of other
shippers. Means Freight Forwarder who books a full container accepts
goods from different shippers and consolidates all such goods in to one
container as a Fully Loaded Container (FCL). The Freight Forwarders
sort’s out these goods at destination or at transshipment port, for
different consignees at different ports. Once after arrival of goods at
destination the freight forwarder release goods for each consignee
separately by collecting necessary charges
3.5.6 Method of Calculation of CBM under LCL shipment

Calculating volume of cargo is a common subject for all exporters and

other shipping related companies. If cargo is FULL CONTAINER LOAD
(FCL) the freight charges is for the full container load basis. But if the
cargo is a LESS CONTAINER LOAD (LCL) normally a freight forwarders
charges freight on the basis of volume of cargo. A freight forwarders
charges freight on the basis of CBM.

The method of calculation of volume of cargo under LCL

shipment

CBM means Cubic Meter. However, the total weight of cargo should not
exceed 1 ton. That means, if the cargo weight is above 1000kgs, the
volume of cargo is treated on the basis of weight.

In short, Freight forwarders charges LCL rate on the basis of ‘per CBM’ or
‘per WEIGHT’ of 1000kgs (1 ton) whichever is higher. CBM - cubic meter
is calculated by multiplying Length, Width, and Height of packages of
goods.

For Example:

If the Length, Height, Width of a cargo is 2.3 m, 1.4 m, 2 m, respectively,

the volume of cargo is 2.3*1.4*2.00 = 6.44 CBM. If you have the
measurement in inches or centimeters,

First you need to convert in meters and then calculate CBM which will be
easier for you. If freight forwarders quote a rate of USD 10.00 per CBM,
the rate will be 6.44 CBM * USD 10.00 per CBM = USD 64.40

If the weight of the said package is 7 tons (7000kgs), the freight on LCL
is calculated on the basis of weight.

That is, 7 tons * USD 10.00 = USD 70.00.

So weight of 1 ton (1000kgs) is treated as 1CBM. The LCL freight is
calculated on the volume of 1CBM

3.8 Types of Container

3.8.1 Dry Container

Dry Containers is the most popular and used for transportation of various
general cargos. It is also called “Standard container” and it is mostly
made of steel.

Dry containers 20' and 40' (general purpose) are manufactured from
either aluminium or steel. They are suitable for most types of cargo.
Aluminium dry containers have a slightly larger payload than steel, and
steel dry containers have a slightly larger internal cube.

Fig3.8.1 Dry Container

3.8.2 Refrigerated Container (Reefer Container)

Refrigerated container (Reefer container) is used for transportation of

frozen and chilled cargos (fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood and films).
It is equipped with refrigeration unit and can maintain the target
temperature (from –18 to 20 degrees centigrade).

While a reefer will have an integral refrigeration unit, they rely on external
power, from electrical power points (“reefer points”) at a land based site,
a container ship or on quay. W hen being transported over the road on a
trailer or over rail wagon, they can be powered from diesel powered
generators ("gen sets") which attach to the container whilst on road
journeys. Refrigerated containers are capable of controlling temperature
ranging from -30C, -40C, -65C up to 30C, 40C.

Fig3.8.2 Reefer container

 3.8.3 Open Top Container

Open top container is used for transportation of high height and

heavy cargos. It is covered by canvas in order to protect from rain and
wind when they are moving.

Fig3.8.3 Open top Container

3.8.4 Tanker Container

Tank container is used for transportation of liquid, as molts, soy

sauce and chemical goods and so on. A framework surrounds a tank with
the overall dimensions of a container and it is common to be owned by
a shipper.

Fig3.8.4 Tanker Containers

3.8.5 Flat rack Container

Flat rack container is used for transportation of bulky cargo which is

unable to handle by general container. It is designed for carrying extra
wide loads and can be load from both side and top as it has not got any
walls and roof. Flatbed container is also used for transportation of giant
cargo.

Specific dimensions and capacity of flat rack containers may vary

depending on the container manufacturer, the age of the container and
the container owner.

Fig3.8.5 Flat Track Containers

3.9 Functional Departments Overview

CFS (container freight station) is the designated area for delivery of

less than container load cargo for container loading and secured location
for container unloading and cargo delivery. There are different
departments which belong to the container freight station, each and
every department is making their way to develop the container freight
station and each and every employee contributing their knowledge and
hard work to make the organization stronger.

3.9.1 Gate Operation

Trailers will come from port first they will get the Gate pass and the
PNR (public notification registration) movement are entered in register
at the security Gate then P.O will verify the seal, container number, and
entered time then the RFID (radio frequency identificat ion) tag will place
on the container for knowing the location in CFS then the container are
off loaded in the CFS, this is for the PNR movement.

Before that PNR movement IGM (import generate manifest) was mailed
by the port authority to the CFS, so that they will know about the detail
of container which is going to be placed in the CFS. In ALLCARGO
LOGISTICS they are using MAG software for doing this process.

Iso code are used for identifying and differentiating the container, it’s the
code cover the identification of intermodal (shipping) container used
within containerized intermodal freight transport .it include a unique
serial number, the owner ,country code ,size ,type ,and equipment
category as well as any operation mark .

3.9.2 Documentation

There are two types of operation

 Open Operation
 RMS Operation

If it is open FCL there is a seal cutting to check the goods in the container
for the verification

If it an RMS there is no need of verification the operation process take

place without opening the container

Sometime the cargo may be in hold position due to the payment, after the
payment process is over the holding will be released
3.9.3 Import LCL

IMPORT LCL (Less Container Load)

Import LCL it has more than one party in a single container, De stuffing
will take place in LCL. Manifest copy is required, P.O sign is must to open
the container after the verification of the seal, container number then
P.O will order to open the container and if it has 10 party in a same
container each and every party cargo is placed in a separate area then
the concern CHA will arrive and verify the cargo,

IMPORT FCL (Full Container Load)

Initially they will find it is open / rms then verify the B/E, B/L and give the
open order if it has A.O sign Container history, container number,
Description if container entered in CFS.

3.9.4 Carting

FCL – CARTING

FCL – STUFFING

Carting: They will check invoice, packing list, check list. Here work order
has been done for the carting, then the carting tally sheet will prepare,
then stock order has to place in the cargo for the verification, then the
system tally.

Stuffing: First they will check the container number then the CHA will
get the stuffing request, then with the help of labor employee the goods
have been placed in the container

Shout out cargo: It is an extra packages during the time of stuffing

some packages are stopped due to unavailable of space in the container,
It will inform to the concern agent and the CHA will send the goods back
to the concern logistics company.

Allcargo Logistics has one of the top Container Freight Station in the
country. During the month of Internship training, lot of activities take
 place in the detailed internship training, some of the sugges tions based
on observation during this training.

Few things mentioned based on my knowledge

Gate entry delayed due to the both operation at same time like PNR
movement for container and the Gate Pass for Import and Export
containers in the same place this make a huge Traffic in the Gate entry
that cause some serious problems to avoid this make s eparate way for
PNR movement and Import Export containers that possibly reduce the
traffic and also increase the CFS operation more effectively

Export: Problem for stuffing due to simultaneous operation like Carting

take place at the same time on the other side due to this both stuffing
and carting got delayed because of less man power

This kind of problems can be easily solve by the organization committee

they need to take necessary steps. This make the movement of goods
faster in the CFS and it will make some changes in the annual turnover.

4.3 Conclusion

Allcargo Logistics gives a detailed knowledge about the Container

Freight Station. Every department in the organization has connectivity to
all other departments that make the chain system between the
departments in the organization. This is possible only when there is good
management team. Allcargo has the best management team that makes
