High-speed wagons to connect CONCOR?s ICD network to P&O Ports-operated terminals - MoUs signed to improve rail link to gateway ports
The Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) and P&O Ports Pvt.

The MoUs also witness a first-time agreement between CONCOR and P&O Ports to guarantee fixed handling time for container trains at the ports, with a system of penalties and rewards to improve efficiency levels
