This facility will streamline operations, minimise delays, and increase crew availability and mobility.
In a significant move to enhance cargo handling efficiency, Adani Gangavaram Port, India's deepest port, has inaugurated a state-of-the-art Railway Crew Lobby. The facility, launched on December 24, 2024, at the port's R&D yard, features a modern Crew Management System (CMS) to streamline operations.
The Railway Crew Lobby was inaugurated by Shri. Manoj Kumar Sahoo, DRM, Waltair Division, East Coast Railway, in the presence of the CEO of Adani Gangavaram Port and senior officials from the port and railway sector. The facility includes a dedicated Crew Controller Office and well-equipped restrooms with amenities for both male and female railway employees.
