Portall has announced its partnership with Return Trucks (RT), an innovative digital platform that connects transport operators (trailers and truckers) for seamless cargo shipment. A focus on one-way loads and the utilisation of ‘Return Trucks’ (empty return – optimised with cargo at attractive rates) makes this offering unique and provides an additional logistics service to the users of PCS 1x.
This Return Trucks service can be accessed via the collaborative platform P-CaSo which is LIVE on PCS 1x, informed a release.
Indian Ports Association (IPA), which launched the PCS 1x in December 2018, has been working closely with the trade to expand functionality and features, and the addition of this service has ensured that the users can get attractive rates which can help bring down the logistics costs.

This has been made possible with the continued support and encouragement of the IPA”
