 INTRODUCTION
CARAVEL LOGISTICS PVT LTD

Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India

Two intrepid, young men C. Jayakrishnan and Saju Chacko started

Caravel Logistics twelve years ago. Both of them had already had several years of
experience in the line of shipping services. They noticed that customer service in
terms of time, reliability and promptness was generally not easily found in the
arena of total logistics. Due to this they thought that if such factors were given
more than a casual importance, there would be value-creation and establishing an
enviable reputation within a short time would be on the cards

Caravel Logistics Pvt., Ltd. provides logistics solutions. Its services include
cargo management, multi modal transportation, non-vessel operating container
carrier (NVOCC), custom house brokerage, freight forwarding, stevedoring, liquid
cargo, OOG cargo, domestic logistics, refrigerated container, international trade

COVERAGE
WE'RE EVERYWHERE YOU REQUIRE US TO BE

Transportation
Premier Transport Company, a division of Caravel, runs a fleet of container
trailers, LCV's and has at hand trailers of various capacities to carry cargo
throughout India, and special skills in handling extra large cargo, machinery, cars
and hazardous chemicals. ‘
PTC Serves various Indian Destination for Containerized as well as heavy cargo
like Steel Sheets, Steel moulds. Besides, a successful record in handling bulk
project cargoes underscores the company's professional strength.

Guided by a simple set of core values, PTC is charting a path to become the safest
and most progressive freight transportation service in India.

Stevedoring
Seawaves, a group company of Caravel, handled Container Stevedoring for Bengal
Tiger Line vessels operating between Chennai and Singapore. While doing
container stevedoring at Chennai Port prior to privatization of the container
terminal, we had handled 25 containers per hour on BTL vessels.
Prior to privatization of the container terminal where Berth Reservation Scheme
was operational, we take credit for being in charge of yard management for Bengal
Tiger Line.

Seawaves was awarded as the best stevedore for handling highest containers per
shift at Chennai Port. Seawaves was awarded for the best stack management
service at Chennai Port. Seawaves Shipping has received the best Container
Stevedores Award for handling containers to the tune of 2.25 lakh teus per annum.
We have handled 100,000 MT of Gypsum, 35,000 MT of coal as well as rice at the
Chennai Port while giving the highest productivity in terms of load and discharge
rates in Metric Tonne up to 5000 tonne per working day.

Seawaves also stevedores bulk cargo, specializing in handling coal and gypsum
vessels.

Liquid Cargo – ISO Tanks & Flexi Tanks

We are one of the India's leading freight forwarders and non-vessel operating
common carriers (NVOCCs). We maintain that position; because of the way we do
things.

Flexi Tanks
Flexi Tank is special equipment for transportation of Bulk non- hazardous liquid.
It is a special soft tight tank which is produced from high quality plastic material,
with a capacity from 14 up to 24 thousand liter and when empty, it occupies less
than a cubic meter. It is installed in a 20’ dry container for use. At installation, the
flexi tank is laid in the 20’ ft container, and the cargo is being filled in to the flexi
tank through the inlet value and it bulges as it is filled with the liquid.

Flexi tank is a break through in Bulk Liquid transport and extremely cost effective
in terms of time, money and man power and superior to the conventional
methods of bulk liquid transport. In a flexi tank unit; we can accommodate 24,000
liters when compared to transportation in drums can accommodate 40% more
volume. It is not only time saving but also cost saving by 40% while loading and
discharge; when compared to Loading/Unloading Drums. There is negligible
residue (0.1%) when compared to drums (1%) and similarly loss to the cargo while
loading/unloading is negligible when compared to that of Drums/IBC’s.

We provide flexi tanks with leak proof tank mouth which made of unique
technique & patented for its design. Thus we ensure that our Flexi tanks are safer
for transport of liquid. Certainly; this is a difference to the others available in the
market.

OOG Cargoes
OOG Cargoes and Out of Gauge movements
Caravel, has vast experience in the shipping and handling of large out-of-guage
equipment and machinery and has been involved in many high profile movements
of expensive and time sensitive equipment as well as the regular movement of
Road making machines and electricity generation project cargo. Over the years we
have moved shipments by ocean from single machines to the chartering of large
ships. Through our strong links with like-minded partners located throughout the
globe we are able to get expert local transport and customs knowledge, which
others would find difficult to get.

Exclusive Services to Iraq

We offer services exclusively to Iraqi port - Umm Qasr; and to its inland
destinations via Dubai. We move the containers from port of loading to Iraqi ports
in the shortest time possible. Persons, who are well experienced with Iraq and the
authorities there, manage our transporting company, which ensures that cargo is
delivered to the consignee anywhere in Iraq safely. Inspection and Transshipment
facilities are also offered to our clients at Dubai.

DOMESTIC LOGISTICS
“Caravel offers multimodal logistics thus optimizing the cost of logistics for the
Indian customers who are primarily using road. We combine rail & sea with
peripheral deliveries & pick up done by road in offering multimodal transport. The
prices of the multimodal combination using rail & sea can reduce the cost of
transportation of goods from north to south india & vice versa by 40 – 50 % at
comparable transit times.
The coastal service will be calling Mundra – Kochi – Tuticorin – Mundra with
fixed day frequency.

Caravel has wide range of container offering - refrigerated containers to carry

temperature controlled cargo like dairy products, fruits & vegetables, medicines,
chemicals, tank containers - to carry liquid cargo, open top containers to carry
goods which need to loaded from the top, flat rack containers – for bulky
engineering products. All these goods from, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat
etc. are primarily carried by trailers & trucks, which costs very high due to the
involvement of special trucks & reposition cost of the special trucks. Apart from
this, there is a requirement of road width in the case of bulky cargo. Carriage of
these cargos by ship can make the transit faster & easier. Temperature controlled
cargo can be carried from door to port by power pack to the container on the
trailers then power at port & ship to ensure that the cargo does not deteriorate. This
kind of power arrangement is more reliable. The shippers for these cargoes are yet
to use the multimodal transport in a large way; we intend to have these products
moving in multimodal ways.

Cars, motorcycles, autos, tractors, can be loaded in containers & moved to the port
by rail, then by sea to the south Indian location for delivery & vice versa. In this
way, peripheral pick or delivery alone will be done by road. This makes the
transport safer. Currently car carriers are of very high bodies to accommodate more
cars for economical carriage. This is less stable making the movement more
cumbersome due to low speed, height making it dangerous & not complying the
road rule.

Multimodal transport will reduce the pressure on the road by reducing pollution &
cost for the shippers, lesser congestion on the roads as well. The transit time from
origin to destination can be comparable to road as we are intending to join rail &
sea primarily as they are the cheaper mode of transport where ship transport being
the cheapest of the 3 surface/sea mode.

We facilitate the following in the Domestic Logistics Business:

 Movement of bulk and heavy cargo through Trailors.

Refrigerated - Container Service

High potential and ever increasing demand for specialised equipments in the
shipping services was realised & Caravel Lines has augmented the inventory with
special reefer equipments.

Reefers, or Refrigerated containers facilitate the movement of cargo that requires a

strict temperature controlled environment. The Reefer containers are
usually moved from the terminal to the factories; for stuffing on special trailers, on
which a "clip on" generator is attached to supply power to the Reefer units. On
return they are stacked at a nominated location with special facilities for plugging
in the containers to uninterrupted power sources, and regular temperature
monitoring.

Refrigerated containers help our customers to transport mainly perishables and

high value cargoes which are temperature sensitive and need protection from
climatic conditions prevailing viz heat, cold, and ventilation. This helps the trader
to overcome the barrier of distance while still maintaining the same freshness of
the cargo involved.

We provide specialised reefer service to transport cargoes from Indian ports to

other Asian Ports and vice versa.

Trade in perishable products has expanded steadily in recent years, spurred by

economic growth and increasing prosperity in East Asia and the transitional
economies.

Normally following commodity groups are moved by reefer boxes:

 Bananas & plantains
Pharmaceutical Products
Deciduous fruits: apples, grapes, pears, peaches, kiwi fruit, plums
Citrus fruits: oranges, tangerines, lemons & limes, grapefruits, pomelos
Tropical fruits: melons, pineapples, mangoes, avocados, papayas & others
Fresh Vegetables.
Food sutff
Meat , poultry , eggs
Fishery products: frozen, chilled & freshwater fish, crustaceans, molluscs,
crabs, cuttlefish, squid, prawns, octopus etc
Dairy products: butter & cheese.
The state-of-the-art units in our inventory ensure maximum protection to these
cargoes.

Serviced and supported with an excellent network of feeder services, our high
quality network ensures timely delivery of delicate and transit sensitive cargoes
from port of origin to port of destination or even a door to door service with
logistic support as required.
