Allcargo Logistics  continues to perform reasonably strong in Multimodal Transport Operations (MTO) segment despite sluggish container shipping market. The company reported volume of 91,725 TEUs in Q3FY14 (up 30 percent YoY and 20 percent QoQ). Even the volume growth is seen on account of consolidation of two of the company's acquisitions - Econocaribe Consolidators and FCL Marine Agencies. The stock, which is up over 4 percent, has doubled this year alone.

In an interview to CNBC-TV18, S Suryanarayanan, Director - Finance, Allcargo Logistics, said the company sees a case for strong volume growth in the container freight and expects the margins (in the segment) to remain stable.

He does not see significant avenues for capex in next two years and says the bulk of it would be used for the maintenance purposes. Suryanarayanan expects Allcargo to be a debt-free company over next 18 months.

Below is the transcript of S Suryanarayanan's interview to CNBC-TV18's Latha Venkatesh and Reema Tendulkar

Reema: We understand that your container segment is still quite weak and that could put pressure on your margins in the near term, is that so and if you could quantify the pressure on the margins on account of this?

A: From our perspective there is volume growth in our Container Freight Stations (CFS) business in India. The margins are quite stable and I don't see the impact on our margins at least in the coming year we don't see it. We have a good growth happening in the CFS business that we are currently handling. 

Latha: Your Multimodal Transport Operations (MTO) give you most of the money, what is the outlook on volume growth, have you seen commerce pickup enough to give you a quantum leap in volumes?

A: Overall in our international business at a global level we are growing in double digit numbers and I think we will sustain that growth and the margins there also are quite stable. So at an overall level if I were to summarise both in our MTO segments, the global LCL business and our Indian businesses both in the container freight stations and our P&D segments showing improved volume growth, improved asset utilisations. I think in the coming year we should see a growth in excess of over 40 percent in a profit after tax level as compared to the previous year if you were to see going forward in FY15.
