Deployment of private manpower for
handling of cargoes
For improving productivity and Turn Round
Time of Vessels, the deployment of private manpower for
handling of cargoes in Docks in case of short supply of
OBL gangs by MbPT, is allowed by giving 50% rebate in
the stevedoring charges. This will reduce the cost of
handling cargo in MbPT as ships will not be idle on
account of non-availability of manpower.

Simplification of
Import Procedure
As
discussed during the Workshop on “Same Day Clearance”
held jointly by the Chief Commissioner of Customs and
Chairman, MbPT, MbPT have simplified import delivery
procedure by doing away with CDO forwarding and CDO
passing formalities carried out at CDO Office. After
Customs examination, the CHB/Importer can directly
approach the Shed for “Shed Passing” and can take
delivery of cargo after submission of EDO, Customs Out
of Charge and payment of Port Charges. This will help in
reduction of cost and time for the Trade.
