Abstract
International logistics in the cement industry involves coordinated operations to ensure efficient movement of cement and clinker from production units to global destinations. These operations include inland transportation via road and rail, port handling, storage, and maritime shipping. The use of both owned and chartered vessels offers flexibility and cost-efficiency. Effective logistics planning is crucial to meet delivery timelines, maintain product quality, and minimize costs. Coordination with logistics partners, freight forwarders, and port authorities ensures smooth operations. Digital tracking systems and sustainable practices, like optimized routing and fuel-efficient vessels, are increasingly adopted to reduce environmental impact. These logistics operations enhance competitiveness, market reach, and customer satisfaction in global cement trade.Keywords:Cement Export, International Logistics, Maritime Shipping, Supply Chain, Clinker Transport, Port Handling.
