**Executive Summary:**
This notification addresses the disposal of a proposal from the New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT) regarding the extension of existing performance norms, a proposed reduction in performance norms for rock phosphate, and the incorporation of performance norms for industrial salt. The changes, once approved by the NMPT Board of Trustees, are set to take effect from November 29, 2021, and remain valid until November 28, 2022. A speaking order with full details will be sent separately to NMPT and relevant stakeholders.
**Key Points / Main Content:**
* **Performance Norms Extension and Revisions:**
* Extends existing performance norms for cargo handling at New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT).
* Revises (reduces) performance norms specifically for rock phosphate cargo.
* Incorporates new performance norms for industrial salt cargo.
* **Productivity Norms for Dry Bulk Cargo:**
* Sets specific productivity norms (tonnes/day) for various commodities based on the number and capacity of Mobile Harbour Cranes (MHCs) used (100T and 64T Ship capacity with 2Nos, 2Nos, 4Nos MHC Crane): Coal, Pet Coke, Met Coke, Urea, DAP/SOP, MOP, Sulphur, Gypsum and other Ores and Minerals, Limestone/Dolomite, Bentonite, Rock Phosphate and other FRM, Other Finished fertilizer, Iron Ore Fines, Food Grains, River Sand, Industrial Salt
* **Incentive/Penalty System:**
* Implements an incentive/penalty system based on ship stay duration compared to stipulated times.
* Defines calculation method for actual berth stay, considering inward pilotage and sailing time.
* Specifies incentive and penalty amounts based on the duration of stay (higher or lower) relative to stipulated time. Vessels staying more than 5 hours higher than stipulated time will be penalized 3500 per hour or part thereof. Vessels saving more than 5 hours lower than the stipulated time will receive an incentive of 350 per hour or part thereof.
* **Exclusions for Penalty/Incentive Calculation:**
* Excludes stoppages due to port-related issues (equipment breakdown) or weather-related issues from performance calculations.
* Excludes delays due to ship shifting, pilot/tug unavailability, and tidal conditions, Draft surveys.
* **Operational Requirements:**
* Requires Steamer Agents to submit vessel planning before berthing.
* Specifies how stipulated vessel stay time is calculated based on cargo volume and commodity performance norms.
* Stevedores avail the incentive and also bear the penalty.
* Geared vessels must operate all cranes until cargo operations are complete and if unable to do so due to ship crane issues, the vessel agent must engage a Harbour Mobile Crane (HMC).
* **Other Provisions:**
* NMPT can shift vessels to anchorage if productivity norms aren't met, with associated costs borne by the ship.
* NMPT will review productivity norms annually and revise them based on local conditions and infrastructure upgrades.
* Anchorage charges for dry bulk cargo will align with NMPT's Schedule of Rates (SOR).
* **Validity:**
* Provisions are effective from November 29, 2021, to November 28, 2022, pending approval from the NMPT Board of Trustees.
**Impact Analysis:**
* **New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT):**
* *Impact:* Must implement and manage the revised performance norms and incentive/penalty system. Expected to review productivity norms annually.
* *Action Required:* Obtain Board of Trustees approval for the changes, implement the new norms, and communicate them to relevant stakeholders.

Note:
(i). In computing actual performance achieved by each ship for the purpose of
calculating penalty/ incentive any stoppage of operations on account of port-
related or weather-related issues will be discounted. Such exclusions will be
limited to:6 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC.4]
(a) Break-down/ non-availability of port provided equipment at berth.
(b) Weather related stoppages as indicated in the Statement of Facts (SOF).
(c) Shifting of ships between berths on account of port. Port is required to
maintain a record of a historical data of the frequency of such cases.
(d) Any delays in sailing post vessel readiness to sail on account of port i.e.
pilot/ tug unavailability, tidal conditions.
(e) Draft surveys within the prescribed norms for ships. As a guideline
maximum 30 minutes per party for interim draft survey should be
allowed. Any additional time incurred in draft surveys will be considered
in berth stay. Port should also make all attempts to ensure that in case of
multi-party consignments, common surveyors are appointed so as to
reduce time lost during interim draft surveys.
Any stoppages because of other reasons are not to be excluded for
calculation of performance norms, unless specifically approved by
Board.
(ii) Steamer Agents to submit the „vessel planning‟ prior to berthing of the vessel.
(iii) The Stipulated time of stay of vessel shall be calculated based on the total cargo
discharged/loaded from the vessel during the stay at berth and the performance
norm prescribed for the commodity. For example, a vessel carrying 44,000 tonnes
of coal handled through two Nos. of MHC of 100T and above capacity the
stipulated time of stay of vessel will be 48 hours i.e. (44,000/22,000) X 24.
(iv) The penalty of `3,500/- per hour or part thereof for the stay of vessel at berth
higher than the stipulated time of stay of vessel at berth and incentive of `350/-
per hour or part thereof for the stay of vessel at berth lower than the stipulated
time of stay of vessel at berth.
(v) If the total stay at berth of a vessel is 3 hours lower than the stipulated time, the
Stevedores are eligible for incentive of `1,050/- (i.e. `350*3) and in case of vessel
stays 3 hours higher than the stipulated time they shall be liable to pay `10,500/-
(i.e. `3,500*3) in case of penalty.
(vi) Since licenses are issued by the Port to Stevedores for handling cargo and the
stevedores indent resources for handling cargo, the Stevedores would avail
incentive and also bear the penalty.
(vii) The geared vessels are expected to operate all cranes till the completion of
loading/ unloading of cargo. Such geared vessels which are unable to engage all
or any ship crane for cargo loading/ unloading operations due to breakdown of
ship cranes or any other reasons not attributable to port, the vessel
agent/importer/exporter is liable to engage Harbour Mobile Crane (HMC) subject
to availability till the ship gears is/ are made operational.
(viii) In case of vessels using more than 2 HMCs to achieve better efficiency, the
incentive/ penalty to be calculated considering the productivity norms for 2
HMCs.
(ix) Where the vessel is not achieving the prescribed productivity norms, NMPT
reserve the right to shift the vessel to anchorage at the risk and cost of the ship in
addition to levy of penalty charges, if any, at the above prescribed rate.
(x) NMPT may review the productivity norms on annual basis and revise the same, if
required, based on local conditions, up-gradation of berth infrastructure and past
performance etc. as stipulated in the Berthing Policy for Dry bulk cargo for Major
Ports, 2016 issued by the Ministry of Port, Shipping and Waterways (MOPSW)
[the then Ministry of Shipping].
(c) Anchorage charges for Dry Bulk Cargo Vessels:
The Anchorage charges for dry bulk cargo may be considered as prescribed in the general
revision of SOR of NMPT.”[भाग III—खण् ड 4] भारत का रािपत्र : असाधारण 7
