ONE launches export carrier haulage from India ICDs

ONE Innovation

Ocean Network Express will launch Export Carrier Haulage services from inland container depots across India from 20 September 2026.

The new service will provide customers with a single-window solution for export container movements from ICD locations.

The applicable export rail haulage charges will vary according to the container type, size and weight. Customers can review the rates through ONE’s Export Haulage tariff.

Export Carrier Haulage conditions

ONE Export Carrier Haulage charges will apply when:

  • The empty container pick-up point is an ICD.
  • The laden container handover point is an ICD.
  • The Place of Receipt on the ONE Bill of Lading is the same ICD.

Other applicable local charges will also apply according to ONE’s tariff.

ONE will accept reefer containers under Carrier Haulage from facilities where the carrier has already published Export Carrier Haulage rates.

Merchant Haulage requirements

Customers can continue arranging inland transport through Shipper PDA or Merchant Haulage.

Under Merchant Haulage, the Place of Receipt on the Bill of Lading will no longer show the ICD. Instead, ONE will list the respective Port of Loading because the customer will arrange the haulage.

The applicable rate will be based on the date the customer hands over the container at the Port of Loading.

Customers will be responsible for collecting the empty container and delivering the laden container to the port within the standard export free time.

Delays beyond the applicable free period will result in detention or ground rent charges according to ONE’s published tariff.

Terminal Handling Charges will also apply under Merchant Haulage according to the carrier’s tariff.
