LONDON: A leading UK port company in its efforts to woo Indian exporters will send its senior managers to Mumbai to establish rapport in the Indian shipping market.

PD Ports, a company with five ports in Britain, has chosen its Teesport port in northeast England for the delivery of the Indian goods. “There's a big market into the North, particularly the West Yorkshire area. A lot of the receivers of Indian goods are situated there with a lot of warehouses,” said PD Ports' group Chief Executive Officer, Mr David Robinson.

Senior managers of the ‘PD port' during their Mumbai visit will raise the profile of their Northern Gateway Container Terminal development at Teesport, one of the three largest ports of UK.

Besides, an official agreement to appoint the company's representative in the country will be signed. The company also plans an exhibition at the Indian Shipping and Logistics Expo in Mumbai on September 25 and 26. India is one of the global leaders in the shipping industry, as 95 per cent of the country's trade by volume and 70 per cent in terms of value, are moved by sea. - PTI
