[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]APM Terminals Pipavav has reached a milestone of 100,000 automobiles handled at the port’s Roll-On Roll-Off (RoRo) facility, 20 months after commencing auto-loading and discharging operations. RoRo services were introduced at the port in August 2015 after NYK Auto Logistics India (NALI) invested in a state-of-the-art stockyard and pre-delivery inspection facility.
Strategically located in Gujarat in Western India, APM Terminals Pipavav is well-placed to serve India’s fast-growing automotive industry. India’s passenger car exports have grown by 46 per cent over the previous five years to a record 654,000 in 2016.
The Pipavav car terminal includes an 80,000 sq. m (20 acre) automotive RoRo stockyard, and a 4,400 sq. m (one acre) staging area. The car terminal area has been leased from Port Pipavav by NALI, which operates the facility and has the ability to process and load 250,000 vehicles annually.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
