Sarbananda Sonowal Launches Sagar Setu App of National Logistics Portal Marine

This app's deliverables include features such as Login Module, Service Catalogue, Common Application Format, Letter of Credit, Bank Guarantee, Certification, and Track & Trace, among others.

It will give real-time information on operations that are normally unavailable to importers, exporters, and customs brokers, such as vessel-related information, gate, container freight stations, and transactions.

It also permits digital transactions for payments required for the import and export clearance procedure, such as container freight station charges, shipping line charges, transportation charges, and so on. Sonowal stated during the launch of this software, "the SAGAR-SETU app of the National Logistics Portal (Marine) would help custodians in quicker access to functionalities on a portable device."
