CCHAA created the necessary infrastructure and posted well trained System Executives to meet the requirement of the members and the trade. All Export Applications filed at the Cochin Port Trust were filed through the EDI Service Centre of CCHAA and the same is transmitted to the various terminals of CPT such as the Traffic Dept, FA&CAO's Dept through on line.
