cargo coastal vessels to enable shippers to transport goods from one port in India to
another port in India irrespective of origin and final destination of the cargo. This

existing in major Ports, if any.

container vessels keeping in view the concession agreements and existing allotment
of window berthing at the private terminals and availability of container berths
operated by the ports.

vessel berthed on priority as above, if the same is eligible under normal berthing
policy of the port.

(vii) A coastal vessel shall be liable to pay port charges on coastal rates notwithstanding
whether it was berthed on priority or otherwise
 (viii) Ports should explore the possibilities of earmarking exclusive berth, storage areas
and gates for coastal cargo outside the custom bonded area of the Ports to further
