Port & ICD coordination
Movement coordinated with port and ICD schedules — for example JNPT / Nhava Sheva — aligned to your stuffing and vessel cut-offs.
Service
Factory-to-port and port-to-factory container haulage, coordinated with your loading and vessel schedule.
What it is
URL Safe Express moves containers between factories, ICDs and ports — 20 ft and 40 ft units hauled on schedule, with the coordination that keeps cut-offs and stuffing plans on track.
Documentation, weighbridge and e-way bill support come as standard, and any applicable union or port charges are clarified before the order is confirmed.
Movement coordinated with port and ICD schedules — for example JNPT / Nhava Sheva — aligned to your stuffing and vessel cut-offs.
Container-body and trailer units for laden and empty movements, factory-to-port and port-to-factory.
Serial-numbered LRs, weighbridge, e-way bill support and POD discipline on every movement.
Where a lane involves union or port charges (e.g. certain port areas), these are clarified before quote/order confirmation — no surprises.
Container types
Size, height and cargo type change the trailer, the route check and the paperwork. Tell us the container type at RFQ stage and the vehicle is planned around it.
Often chosen for dense cargo such as metal parts, drums and bagged material, where weight runs out before space does. The declared gross weight decides the trailer and axle set-up.
Used for lighter, bulkier cargo. A high-cube box stands one foot taller than a standard 40 ft container, so overall height on the trailer is checked against bridges, flyovers and overhead lines on the route.
Refrigerated boxes move with their set temperature and power arrangement agreed before dispatch. Share the temperature and generator-set requirement with your enquiry so the road leg is planned around them.
Used for machinery and cargo loaded by crane from above or the side. If the cargo extends beyond the container’s width or height, the move can become over-dimensional and is planned with permits, as for our ODC & Heavy Haulage service.
Where the box goes
A container’s road journey usually starts or ends at one of four places: the port terminal, a container freight station (CFS) near the port, an inland container depot (ICD) or the shipping line’s empty yard. Each has its own gate timings and documents, and the road leg has to fit them.
An ICD works as a dry port: export cargo can be cleared inland and sent to the coast by rail, and import containers can travel inland and be cleared there. A CFS sits close to the port and is where containers are often stuffed, destuffed or held while customs formalities are completed.
Empty container picked up from the line’s yard against the release order, taken to your factory for stuffing, then delivered laden to the port, CFS or ICD before the gate cut-off.
Laden container collected from the port, CFS or ICD once it is released, delivered to your factory for destuffing, and the empty returned to the yard the line nominates.
Short road legs between your plant and an ICD when the box continues by rail to the gateway port, timed to the rail booking rather than the vessel.
Empty boxes moved between yards, depots and factories when a shipping line or exporter needs equipment in a different place.
Equipment
Capability across body types — final vehicle is matched to your cargo’s weight, dimensions, route and ODC needs.
How we work
The same process on every dispatch — the reason clients stay past the first order.
Share your requirement. Our operations team reviews cargo, lane and vehicle fit before quoting.
Confirmed placement from the nearest branch — the right vehicle, on schedule.
Loading and lashing supervision with loading photos and seal discipline.
24×7 GPS tracking with daily status reports until the cargo is delivered.
Clean documentation, prompt PODs and disciplined billing with clear escalation handling.
Export container, step by step
A typical export movement, from empty pick-up to gate-in. Import moves follow the same steps in reverse and end with the empty return.
You share the booking or release order, container size and type, factory address, stuffing window and the vessel or rail cut-off.
The vehicle collects the empty from the nominated yard. The container number is noted and the box is checked for visible damage before it leaves.
The vehicle reports for your stuffing slot. After loading, the seal number is recorded against the container number on the LR.
Weighbridge weighment where the shipper needs it for the VGM (verified gross mass) declaration, and the e-way bill checked against the invoice.
The box is delivered to the port, CFS or ICD before cut-off, and the gate-in document is shared with you as proof of delivery.
Who we move for
Industries we regularly move for across India.
Free time and paperwork
Shipping lines allow a set number of free days for a container to leave and come back to their custody. After that the line charges detention, and ground rent may apply at a CFS or terminal. These are the line’s or the terminal’s charges, so the road leg is planned to bring the box back within free time wherever the schedule allows.
Vehicle waiting time is a separate matter. If a truck is held beyond the agreed stuffing or destuffing window, the terms for that wait are stated in the quote, so both sides know them in advance.
Recorded on the LR at loading and matched against the shipping documents, so a mismatch is caught at the factory and not at the port gate.
Needed for the laden leg where GST rules apply, with the vehicle number in Part B. If the cargo shifts to another vehicle, Part B must be updated before it moves on.
Shipping bills and bills of entry are handled by your customs broker. We line up the road leg with their clearance and release timing.
For import moves, the receipt from the return yard is shared with you, which helps settle any detention question with the line.
For a faster quote
Most of these details are already on your booking or delivery order. The more of them you share, the quicker and firmer the quote.
Size and type (20 ft, 40 ft, 40 ft high-cube, reefer, flat-rack or open-top), the number of boxes, and whether each leg is laden or empty.
Pickup terminal, CFS, ICD or yard; your factory address; and the yard where the empty has to be returned.
Commodity, gross weight per container, and whether it is classed as hazardous, so documents and vehicle checks are in place before placement.
Stuffing or destuffing dates, the vessel or rail cut-off, and the free-time expiry given by the shipping line.

FAQ
Yes — factory-to-port, port-to-factory and empty repositioning, coordinated with your schedule.
Where applicable they are identified and clarified before confirmation so the commercial picture is clear at quote stage.
We coordinate with major ports and ICDs across our network — share your origin, destination and container type for specifics.
Yes. A high-cube box is one foot taller than a standard 40 ft container, so we check the overall height on the trailer against the route before the vehicle is placed.
The return can be part of the same order. Share the shipping line’s return yard and free-time expiry when you book, and the return is planned to reach the yard within free time wherever the schedule allows.
The container number, seal number, size and type, pickup and delivery points and the vehicle number, so the LR matches the shipping documents.
We work back from the cut-off you share, allowing for empty pick-up, stuffing time, weighment and queues at the port gate, and confirm the placement date on that basis.
Yes. If the cargo extends beyond the width or height of the container, the movement may be over-dimensional and is planned with a route check and permits before dispatch.
