DPD - Direct Port Delivery





                                     DPD - Direct Port Delivery


Direct Port Delivery (DPD), which began IN 2017 with the Nhava Sheva port on the outskirts of Mumbai, entails the delivery of a shipment from the port to the consignee instead of initially holding it at a container freight station (CFS). The initiative will cover more ports soon. DPD, a global concept, can potentially cut the time between a shipment landing at the port and reaching the factory to one day from nine at present.
