HISTORY
National Logistics Corporation (NLC) was raised on 6th August 1978 to reduce the congestion at Karachi Port, which had resulted in a waiting time of 50 days for the ships and was costing the Government $12.5 Million per annum in demurrage.
In the process NLC introduced in the country the concept of containerization and became the largest multi-modal freight handler in the region.
NLC also serves as the Crisis Management Arm of the Government to handle and diffuse logistics emergencies. In recognition of its services, NLC has been awarded Gold Mercury Award by the Government of Pakistan.
eNLC
Under the eNLC Program, the National Logistics Corporation plans to create a fully networked, IT-enabled environment which will streamline business processes and eliminate operational redundancies.
Additionally, it will provide ‘real-time’ accurate data for managing all our administrative and business functions. Using the latest web based technologies, NLC envisions itself transforming into a ‘One Stop Shop’ for clients’ multimodal freight requirements.
Clients will be able to make bookings on the Internet and view the progress of their goods from pickup point to final destination. In an environment where the customer continues to have increasing options, NLC plans to offer quality services that no one else can provide. |
