(i). Since restatement of tariff under the amended instruction issued vide this Ministry’s letter
No.8(15)/2015-TAMP dated 17 September 2015 has had the effect of sharply raising the tariff
and would be contrary to the Ministry’s desire to promote coastal shipping, and also the fact
that transaction in coastal shipping/ operations are entirely domestic and the tariff is collected
in rupees, the need to link the tariff to US $ needed to be reviewed.
The consequences related with linkage of exchange rate fluctuation of Indian Rupee vis-à-vis
US $ for restatement of coastal tariff need to be addressed at length so that there is no
adverse impact on the promotion of coastal shipping.
(ii). Accordingly, till such time these issues are addressed, it has been decided by the MOS to
temporarily keep the instructions issued in this Ministry’s letter of even no dated 17
September 2015 in abeyance till further orders and restore the instructions contained in the
then Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport & Highways letters No.PR-14019/29/2001-PG
dated 1st / 3rd January 2005 and 9 March 2005.
2. In view of the above, the MOS has directed this Authority to appropriately prescribe the coastal
cargo/ container/ vessel related charges levied at all Major Port Trusts and private operators authorized under
Section 42(3) of the Major Port Trusts Act, 1963 immediately.
3. In view of the above direction issued by the MOS, this Authority keeps the Order No.TAMP/4/2004-
Genl. dated 5 October 2015 passed by this Authority based on the direction issued by the MOS vide its letter
No. 8(15)2015-TAMP dated 17 September 2015 temporarily in abeyance till further orders from the MOS.
Consequently, the Order No.TAMP/4/2004-Genl. dated 7 January 2005 and the amendment to the said Order
dated 15 March 2005 based on the policy direction issued by the (then) MSRTH dated 1 January 2005 are
restored as directed by the MOS.
4. All the Major Port Trusts are directed to amend their Scale of Rates accordingly. In the case of private
terminal operators operating in the Major Port Trusts in whose existing SOR the vessel related charges and/
or container related charges for foreign category are denominated in US dollar terms, they are directed to
amend their Scale of Rates accordingly.
5. The order passed by this Authority based on the direction of the MOS shall come into effect from the
date of notification of the order in the Gazette of India.
