Circulars

Submission of berthing applications on PCS
With a view to improve efficiency and transparency, the electronic submission of applications for berthing of vessels is made mandatory in PCS. This will reduce the hardships usually associated with submission of hard copy.
(Circular No.TM/B-1/10 dated 20.06.2017).

(ii) |
Automated entry / exit of vehicles
To eliminate human interface and congestion at gates, the vehicles entering/exiting Docks are issued RFID tags through Access Control System (ACS). (Circular no. TM/HI(Access Control)/3003/ 2016-17 dated 11.03.2017 and Circular no. TM/HI (Access control) /3161 dated 31.03.2017)

(iii) |
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.
( Circular No. TM/S/1-CIRCULAR NO. 14 dated 30.06.2017)

(iv) |
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.
(Circular No. TM/S-29/CCFC/16 of 2019-20 dated 24th July, 2019 )
