APMT, MIV build Indian freight station

   The inland services division of APM Terminals has entered into a joint venture with MIV Logistics to develop a container freight station (CFS) for India’s provincial government of Kerala.
   The CFS will be located in Vallarpadam, a port near Kochi with deep water that is expected to become a major gateway for South Asia.
   The project involves the construction of an 18-acre facility with capacity to handle 100,000 TEUs a year. The CFS is scheduled to open in 2013.
   APMT Inland Services already operates seven CFS locations in South Asia with a total of 3.3 million square feet.
