‘Proactive planning must for high-value shipments to ensure safety’

Kamal Jain, Director, Cargomen Logistics said, “Monsoons bring added challenges to cargo handling, but with proper precautions, risks can be minimised. CTOs and agents should focus on waterproof packaging, secure palletisation and use of covered storage or transport to prevent cargo damage. Regular checks of terminal drainage, real-time weather monitoring and staff awareness are equally important. Transparent communication with customers about potential delays or diversions builds trust. Proactive planning, especially for sensitive or high-value shipments, is essential to ensure cargo safety during this season.”
