About ECT and SCT
|
 |

Incorporated in 1988, both Ekachai Container Terminal Co.,Ltd. (ECT) and Siam Container Transport and Terminal Co.,Ltd. (SCT) are inland ports or Customs' Licensed Inland Container Depots (ICDs).
Both ICDs, ECT and SCT, have in-house Customs units, that can handle all the necessary
Customs' procedures. Transporting of containers between various ports and ICDs
are to be handled by bonded trucks under bonded shipment status.
All the Customs' procedures including processing of Customs' entries, payments of import duties,
inspection and release of cargo can be completed at ICDs; for both import and
export cargoes. This in turn will give convenience to users who have cargo shipped
via vessel calling Laem Chabang Ports but have factories domiciled in Bangkok
areas or nearby both ICDs. SCT is a wholly owned subsidiary of ECT. ECT and SCT
are strategically located in industrial areas of Mahachai and Bangplee districts
respectively.
One Stop Service

With the Customs office being located in-house in the ECT and SCT, it gives
a true sense to be called "One Stop Service". Import cargo can be transported
in containers from any sea or river ports in Thailand including from Thai/Malaysian
border Sadao/Bukit Kayu Hitam by trucks under bonded status to either one of
the ICDs and Customs procedures could be completed over there. This is applicable
to export cargo as well. Moreover, other value-added services could be customized
at ICDs to meet individual needs. Users will be hassle-free and you may say
"One telephone call, we handle it all". We can cater to customers' needs.
Independent ICDs
Both ECT and SCT could claim themselves to be truly "Public ICDs" because we do
not belong to any shipping lines. This ensures our integrity and unbiased service
to be provided to everyone. Users could rest assured of confidentiality of
marketing information.
Fully Integrated In-house EDI System

Both terminals are linked via an up-to-date EDI System ensuring effective
monitoring and control of cargo and containers. Any data can be retrieved with
one finger touch giving carriers, importers and exporters alike ready access to
vital information.
