Hub and Spoke system:
Operators can operate the Hub and Spoke system for transportation of containers in certain regions for which the system of documentation and calculation of haulage charges would be as follows.
Hub is a container loading facility/depot, which will be used by an operator to aggregate/ disseminate traffic. For this purpose, the operator may make a request to the Railway indicating the pairs of stations between which he will run his container trains via this hub. Depending on operational feasibility and ensuring that this feasibility is not used by operators to get undue benefit of telescopic rate, the hub will be approved and notified to the Railway Administration by the Railway Board. No benefit may be given unless a Hub is notified by the Railway Board.
The Originating point will clearly indicate on the Railway Receipt (RR) whether the container will go directly to the destination or will move via a specified hub.
The haulage charges for the loaded container will be charged from the originating point to the destination point for the entire distance of actual haulage via the specified “Hub”.
For the loaded/empty container transshipped at the “Hub”, a subsequent RR with “Zero” freight will be prepared for the distance from the hub to the destination, duly cross-referring the original RR and the originating point on the subsequent RR.
The RR for recovery of haulage charges will be prepared by Railway Staff posted at ICD/Port/Railway Terminal on the basis of summary given by the operator of ICD indicating weight of consignment including the tare weight of container.
