Future
projects towards a new horizon...
1. Complete logistic solutions:
This is one of our major projects where we intent
to provide complete logistics solution to exporters
and importers where they can seek our expertise in
logistics operations in order to help them acheive
the most profitable mode of transportation in shortest
possible time. Our sister concern "India First
Logistics Ltd." is launched with this purpose
which is first step towards achievement of our goal.
2. Acquisition of multipurpose
ships:
Mumbai port on the west coast and Chennai port on
the east coast of India have been declared as "HUB"
ports since there is no scope for "MEGA HUB"
ports due to Draft restrictions. The role of feeder
vessels and transhipment have become things of paramount
importance. SKS Logistics Ltd. has
realised the potentials and will be shortly adding
a milestone in containers transhipment. The project
is underway and the first two ships will be rolled
out very soon.
3. Shiprepairing Yard and Dry
Dock project:
To overcome the inadequacy of Dry Dock / Shiprepairing
facility at Mumbai to some extent, the company has
acquired approx. 1,27,000 sq. mtr. of land adjoining
Dharmatar creek at the mouth of river, Amba. From
high seas, it takes 2 hours to reach this site. The
land has been leased on a long term basis. Work on
the project is underway and once completed, this will
be one of the best and modern Drydocks in India. Shipping
companies operating on the west coast especially in
Mumbai region will be greatly benefitted.
4. Shipbuilding:
SKS Logistics Ltd. will shortly go
into shipbuilding activities. Initially, plan to build
ships of upto 10,000 Tons DWT is in the pipeline.
These ships will be basically designed for coastal
operation for carrying petroleum products, cement,
clinkers, steel etc.
