## Policy Analysis Report: Amendment to Deendayal Port Trust's Scale of Rates Regarding Container Vessel Rebates **1. Executive Summary:** This report analyzes an amendment to the Deendayal Port Trust's (DPT) existing Scale of Rates (SOR). The amendment, approved by the Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP), extends rebates on vessel related charges to container vessels calling at DPT for an additional year, from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021. These rebates apply to both foreign and coastal container vessels and vary based on Gross Registered Tonnage (GRT). The amendment is intended to attract more container traffic to DPT, as per the DPT Board of Trustees' resolution. **2. Introduction:** This report aims to provide a detailed analysis of an amendment to the Deendayal Port Trust’s Scale of Rates (SOR) concerning rebates on vessel related charges for container vessels. The analysis is based solely on the provided policy text. **3. Policy Overview:** * **Original Policy Amended:** The document refers to the existing Scale of Rates (SOR) of the Deendayal Port Trust (DPT) approved via Order No. TAMP282019DPT dated October 10, 2019. * **Core Objective(s) of the Amendment (inferred from the text):** To incentivize container vessels to call at the Deendayal Port Trust by offering rebates on vessel related charges, thereby potentially increasing container traffic and port revenue. **4. Background and Rationale:** The amendment extends an existing rebate program for container vessels that was initially set to expire on December 31, 2020. The DPT Board of Trustees approved the extension of the rebate program for an additional year, from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, based on Board Resolution No. 96 in its meeting held on 16 December 2020. The rationale behind the extension is to continue attracting container traffic to the port. The impact on Revenue estimate was captured by the DPT. **5. Key Provisions / Changes:** This policy document details an **amendment**. The key changes introduced are as follows: * **Specific Part of the Original Policy Being Changed:** The amendment modifies note no.11 under Schedule 1 for Port dues, note no.23 after Schedule 2.2. Miscellaneous Pilotage fees and note no.9 after Schedule 3.1.B relating to Berth Hire charges prescribed in the existing SOR of DPT. * **New Rule/Provision:** The existing notes are amended to extend the rebates on Vessel Related Charges to Container Vessels calling at DPT upto 31.12.2021. The rebates are as follows: * Foreign Container Vessels Upto 40,000 GRT: 50% rebate * Foreign Container Vessels 40,001 to 65,000 GRT: 75% rebate * Foreign Container Vessels 65,001 GRT onwards: 80% rebate * Coastal Container Vessels: 40% rebate on the prevailing charges of Coastal Vessels. * **Difference/Effect of the Change:** The amendment prolongs the availability of the specified rebates for an additional year. Without this amendment, container vessels calling at DPT from January 1, 2021, onwards would no longer have been eligible for these rebates. **6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:** The target audience and stakeholders directly affected by this amendment are: * **Container vessel operators (both foreign and coastal)** calling at the Deendayal Port Trust. * **Deendayal Port Trust (DPT)** itself, as the amendment is intended to impact its revenue and container traffic. * **Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP)**, responsible for approving the amendment. **7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):** * **Responsible Agency/Bodies:** * Deendayal Port Trust (DPT) is responsible for amending its existing Scale of Rates (SOR) accordingly. * Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP) has approved the amendment. * **Timelines and Procedures:** * The amendment is effective from January 1, 2021, and remains valid until December 31, 2021. * DPT is directed to amend the existing SOR to reflect the extended rebates. **8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:** The likely intended outcome of these specific changes is to maintain or increase the volume of container traffic at the Deendayal Port Trust. By extending the rebates, the port aims to remain competitive and attractive to container vessel operators. The amendment is likely to have a positive impact on the DPT's container traffic and revenue. **9. Conclusion:** The amendment to the Deendayal Port Trust's Scale of Rates (SOR) extends rebates on vessel related charges for container vessels until December 31, 2021. This amendment, approved by the Tariff Authority for Major Ports, seeks to incentivize container traffic at the port and ensure its continued competitiveness. The changes are significant for container vessel operators as it provides an incentive in the form of rebates.
