Maritime industry is one of the most globalised industries operating in a highly competitive business environment that is far more liberalized than most of the other industries. Thus it is intricately linked to the world economy and trade. The present trend in the international trade is containerization of cargo. The container traffic has been recording impressive growth, particularly since 1990-1991, India has adopted the Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization policy (LPG), with fast increasing use of containers for all types of cargo in international trade with the help of sea ports and inland ports such as Inland Container Depots (ICD). The introduction of container technology and introduction of multimodal transportation have made the development of a network of Inland Container Depots (ICDs) and Container Freight Stations (CFSs) at important hinterland centers in all over the world.
