What does Port haulage (drayage) mean in logistics?
Short answer
Road movement of containers between a port terminal and a CFS, ICD, rail terminal, factory or warehouse.
Around Indian ports, haulage productivity depends on terminal gate queues, e-seal and customs readiness, empty-container return depots and night-time entry rules. Detention on containers that are returned late is a common extra cost. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
