‘Monsoon Enabled’ terminal infrastructure must in Inda

Dinesh Krishnan, Chairman – Southern Region, ACAAI said, “At the Chennai cargo terminal, due to truck ramp and shed misalignment, the cargo gets wet while loading and unloading in the trucks. At the import shed although a canopy is provided the segregation is done outside and cargo gets wet. As soon as monsoon arrives, airport terminal operators ensure multiple roofing, check for leakage in pipes, water backlog which risks both import and export cargo. Monsoon is an annual event in India, so there’s no surprises if the cargo terminal operators paying attention to the ‘Monsoon Enabled’ terminal infrastructure in advance instead of the trade suffering due to wet cargo and then the CTO’s waking up to do patch work to fix the problems.”
