Dock it meaning full#

Traditionally, an Off Dock CY handles only Full Container Load (FCL) and a similar facility handling Less than Container Load (LCL) is termed as Container Freight Station (CFS).ДЄ typical container movement flowВ to an Off Dock CY is as below.ДЄn Off Dock CY and/or ICD is different from an On Dock CY mainly in terms of the geographical location, size of operation and type of handling equipment used, but all may be functionally similar. An off dock CY is closer to the port than an ICD.ДЄn Off Dock CY can be considered as an extension of the port subject to customs supervision and control and to be treated like a container terminal inside the port in all aspects and subject to whatever additional requirements, rules and conditions which may be imposed by the Customs authorities of the country. An ICD maybe termed as an Off Dock CY, but not all Off Dock CYs are ICDs.

To avoid such high costs the shipping line will move the containersВ (on receiverвЂ™s account and risk for full containers) to a nominated Off Dock CYВ (ODCY) from where the receiversВ can take delivery.ДЈ) Off Dock CY refers to a CY that is situated outside of the port premises but not necessarily inland and this is the slight difference between ICD and Off Dock CY. Owing to the geographical location however, storage costs are generally high at an On Dock CY and thereforeВ in some ports the full and empty containers cannot be stored at the On Dock CY without incurring exorbitant storage charges. Containers are off loaded from the ship and moved to the On Dock CY using straddle carriers or trucks andВ stored there till the receiver takes delivery of the cargo.ДЄ typical container movement flowВ to an On Dock CY is as below. In April, Volkswagen announced a strategic tie-up with bp to roll out over 8,000 stations across Germany, UK and other countries by 2024.2) On Dock CY refers to a Container YardВ that is situated within the port area. In Europe, carmakers and fuel retailers have been combining to roll out fast-charging stations. Kumar Chandiran, assistant professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, IIT-Madras. I believe India made a good decision to go for swapping batteries which is more realistic,вЂќ said Aravind

However, the latter requires significantly additional investments to build that infrastructure. вЂњMany of them (foreign countries) are going towards ultrafast charging. Secondly, it homogenises batteries to enable interoperability, and that will massively inhibit R&D into batteries because the mandate will be to make all batteries the same.вЂќДЄcademics agree that battery swapping needs to be promoted even as charging infrastructure is developed, in order to offer users additional flexibility. There has been some criticism of battery swapping itself.ДЄ senior executive of a Mumbai-based EV charging infrastructure developer said: 'While swapping is of some preliminary interest for scooters and e-rickshaws, it is fundamentally economically unfeasible and adds so much unnecessary cost into the ecosystem.

Dock it meaning driver#

вЂњFor instance, if a driver were to drop a battery during the swap (or some other time), do we think he will report it at the BSS (Battery Swapping Station)? Will such an impact be determined immediately, or will it cause problems for the BSS or the next driver?вЂќ Amitabh Saran, founder-CEO of Altigreen, said. Industry representatives, EV makers and academics have also welcomed the policy, though they say that several issues вЂ“ from interoperability of battery packs to pricing to range predictability - remain.Д®V company Altigreen, which successfully tested a 150-km drive on its electric three-wheeler for last-mile recently, believes the вЂњlack of ownershipвЂќ of the battery by the user would work against the battery swapping concept itself. It also envisages demand-side incentives for buyers and battery providers.ДЄn EV user would purchase a vehicle without a battery, significantly cut upfront costs, and become a subscriber with a battery provider and pay regular charges for battery services throughout the vehicleвЂ™s lifetime. The Niti Aayog draft policy drives battery swapping as an alternative to charging to reduce downtime and focuses on light EVs such as two-wheelers and e-rickshaws/e-carts.
