Watch Anil Narayanan explain how VCT is ready to move more cargo during COVID – 19
Watch a special message from our Dy COO, Anil Narayanan. In this video, Anil explains that the situation at VCT is strong and reliable, how VCT is ready to move more cargo during COVID-19 pandemic.
VCT is the container terminal of J M BAXI GROUP in Visakhapatnam. At this juncture, Visakha Container Terminal has been operating by having a business continuity plan duly taking into consideration safety as the utmost priority. Methods of social distancing is followed with minimum manning ensuring 24x7 operation duly meeting customers’ requirement. Vessels are turned around without any impact on productivity as well as yard operation during the lockdown period.
Our employees are provided with the required Personal Protective Equipment, Sanitizers etc. Terminal premises and the offices are quarantined on a periodic basis. Personnel arriving in the terminal are thermally screened at the entry as a precautionary measure. Greater use of digital technology has been a top priority at VCT which has proved to be constructive during COVID-19.
The major challenge we all faced initially is the non-availability of trucks and labour due to which the cargo movement was affected. We have proactively taken up these issues with the concerned authorities and trade. With concerted efforts, truck movement between terminal and CFSs are normalised now. Slow cargo evacuation in the CFSs remains the major concern. It is hence essential to all of us including stakeholders work together in these challenging times to ease out cargo movement. We are in constant contact with our customers and are providing the necessary assistance whenever required.
My best wishes to you and to your family: stay safe and stay healthy.
VCT is one of the infrastructural arm of the J M BAXI Group.
