UAE-based Tristar Group, a leading integrated liquid logistics company, said its warehouses located in the Jebel Ali Industrial Area 1 and 2 were awarded 5-star rating by Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) for the second and third consecutive years, respectively.

All types of warehouses can participate in the rating system as soon as they are registered on the DMCC Tradeflow service which is a dedicated flexible and customised online platform for registering possession and ownership of commodities stored in UAE-based storage facilities, said a statement from the company.

Every year, DMCC conducts an audit of the warehouses and based on their performance, it awards them a rating, it said.
 
The focus areas of the audit include statutory compliance, physical infrastructure, health, safety and environment (HSE) systems, security, fire control, dangerous goods handling, inventory management, risk coverage, IT infrastructure, housekeeping, facility management, certifications, administration and performance measurement, it added.

Shivananda Baikady, general manager - road transport and warehousing, Tristar Group, said: “Our specialised warehousing facilities are designed to accommodate and handle dangerous and non-dangerous goods with stringent adherence to health, safety and environmental standards.”

“We are proud to receive consecutive 5-star rating by DMCC for our warehouses in Industrial Area 1 and 2. It is a reflection of excellence in our day-to-day operations,” he said.

“The rating is also a sound testament to our best-in-class warehousing service for major oil companies,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
