Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This document notifies the Scale of Rates for Eastern Quay Berth EQ10 at Visakhapatnam Port, operated by AVR Infra Private Limited (AIPL) for handling liquid cargo (excluding POL products) on a DBFOT basis. It approves AIPL's proposed rates, indexed to inflation based on Wholesale Price Index (WPI) variations from January 1, 2008. The notified rates will be effective from the commencement of commercial operations by AIPL. Key Points / Main Content: General Terms and Conditions: * Vessel status (Customs or Director General of Shipping certification) determines coastal or foreign-going classification for berth hire charges. Cargo nature/origin is irrelevant. * Foreign-going Indian flag vessels with a General Trading Licence can convert to coastal runs with a Customs Conversion Order. * Foreign flag vessels can convert to coastal runs with a license from the Director General of Shipping and a customs conversion order. * Coastal rates apply from loading coastal goods until completion of discharge at the last Indian port call. * Dedicated Indian coastal vessels with a license from the Director General of Shipping are entitled to coastal rates. * Foreign-going Indian vessels with a General Trading License have applicable coastal rates with respect to Handling Charges * Berth hire for coastal vessels should not exceed 60% of charges for other vessels. * Cargo-related charges for coastal cargo (excluding crude, POL, iron ore, and thermal coal) should not exceed 60% of normal charges. * Concessional rates apply to relevant handling charges for ship-shore transfer and transfer from quay to storage yard, including wharfage. * Cargo from a foreign port reaching an Indian port for transhipment to another Indian port will be levied concessional charges relevant for coastal voyage. * Penal interest applies to delayed payments/refunds, set at 2% above the State Bank of India's Prime Lending Rate. * Fractions in calculations are rounded as specified. * Charges are rounded up to the next higher rupee. * Rates are ceiling levels; terminal operators can charge lower rates or offer higher discounts. * Terminal operators can rationalize conditions governing rates if it benefits users and doesn't exceed ceiling levels. * Public notification is required for lower rates or rationalized conditions. * Users aren't required to pay for delays beyond reasonable levels attributable to the terminal operator. Berth Hire Charges: * Berth hire rates are specified per GRT per hour for foreign-going and coastal vessels carrying specific cargo types. * Penal berth hire applies for overstayal beyond stipulated periods if there's berth demand and advance notice. * Vessels get grace periods post-cargo operation completion before penalties apply (varying by activity). * Berth hire period is calculated from berth occupancy to vacating. * Berth hire stops 4 hours after the vessel signals readiness to sail, excluding delays due to tides, weather, or lack of night navigation. * A false readiness signal incurs a penalty equal to one day's berth hire. * No berth hire is levied during terminal operator-caused idleness exceeding one hour. * Fees are specified for ousting priority and priority berthing, with exemptions for certain vessel categories. Liquid Bulk Cargo Handling Charges: * Rates are specified per metric ton for Caustic Soda, BioDiesel, Edible oils and Chemicals for foreign and coastal. * Handling charges are composite for loading/unloading, pipeline transport, wharfage, and miscellaneous services. Storage Charges: * A free storage period of 7 days is allowed for import and export cargo. * Storage charges apply per tonne per day after the free period, increasing after the first week. * Customs holidays and terminal non-working days are excluded from free period calculation. Other Notes: * Tariff caps are indexed to inflation based on WPI variations from January 1, 2008. Impact Analysis: Stakeholder: AVR Infra Private Limited (AIPL) * Impact: Approved to implement the notified Scale of Rates for EQ10 berth, impacting revenue and operational procedures. * Action Required: Implement the approved Scale of Rates and associated conditions from the commencement of commercial operations and submit quarterly reports to the Authority through the VPT.

Accordingly, the escalation factor to be applied in the case in reference is 35.08% as per our letter dated 12 April 2016 read with clause 5 of the Scale of Rates. 7.1. With reference to the totality of information collected during the processing of this case, the following position emerges: (i). This Authority has passed an Order No.TAMP/17/2008-VPT dated 12 February 2009 fixing upfront tariff based on the proposal filed by the Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT) for fixing upfront tariff cap for EQ10 project for handling liquid cargo and chemicals on BOT basis in Visakhapatnam Port which was notified in the Gazette of India Extraordinary (Part III Section 4) on 24 February 2009 vide Gazette No.21. (ii). The VPT has awarded the project of Development of Eastern Quay Beth-10 (EQ-10) in the Northern Arm of inner harbor of Visakhapatnam Port for handling liquid cargo (excluding POL products) on DBFOT basis to AVR Infra Private Limited (AIPL) and entered into a Concession Agreement on 16 August 2010 for a period of 30 years.¹Hkkx IIIµ[k.M 4º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 13 (iii). As brought out earlier, Clause 2.9.1. of the Tariff Guidelines of 2008 for fixation of upfront tariff requires the private operator to approach this Authority for notification of the Scale of Rates containing ceiling rates applicable to his operations before commencement of commercial operations. Accordingly, the AIPL has approached this Authority with a request to notify the Scale of Rates as required under the Tariff Guidelines of 2008. (iv). As reported by the AIPL, the operator has obtained completion certificate for commencement of commercial operations with effect from 28 September 2016. This is also supported with copy of the Independent engineer’s certificate for commencement of the commercial operation. The VPT has also confirmed that the Independent Engineer of the subject project has certified the project is completed and is declared fit for commercial operation on 28 September 2016. Relying on the position reported by AIPL and VPT, this Authority is inclined to entertain the proposal of AIPL for notification of the Scale of Rates approved in February 2009 subject to adjustment with reference to the indexation of the rates so approved to WPI to the extent of 60%. (v). As per Clause 2.9.2. of the Tariff Guidelines of 2008, the Scale of Rates to be framed by this Authority for the private operator should be in line with the tariff caps prescribed for the Port and included in the bid document, subject to indexation as explained earlier. Article 8.1 of the Concession Agreement (C.A.) entered between the VPT and AIPL governs levy of the tariff at EQ-10 berth in the Northern Arm of Inner Harbour as per the Concession Agreement. As per Article 8.1 of the C.A., the Concessionaire i.e. AIPL shall be entitled to recover tariff from the users of the Project Facilities and Services as per the Tariff Notification annexed as Appendix-12. It is seen that Appendix-12 appended to C.A. gives reference to the Notification details of the Upfront Tariff approved by this Authority vide Order No.TAMP/17/2008-VPT dated 12 February 2009. (vi). The proposal submitted by AIPL is found to be in order by VPT and the port has no comments to offer. Further, the independent engineer of the subject project M/s. URS Scott Wilson India Pvt. Limited has, in his Provisional Completion Certificate, certified that project has been completed and is declared fit for entry into commercial operation on 28 September 2016 and the customs notification in respect of the subject terminal is awaited to commence commercial operations. (vii). With reference to the indexation of the upfront tariff fixed vide Order dated 12 February 2009 as required under Clause 2.8. of the 2008 Guidelines, it is noteworthy that the AIPL, while filing of its draft proposed SOR, has applied the applicable escalation factor of 35.08% on the tariff caps considering the base year 1 January 2008. In this regard, it is relevant to mention that para 10.1 of the said upfront tariff order as well as the general note to schedule (2) to (4) of Scale of Rates (SOR) approved in the upfront tariff order, state that the tariff caps will be indexed to inflation but only to an extent of 60% of the variation in Wholesale Price Index (WPI) occurring between 1 January 2008 and 1 January of the relevant year. Since, the Order and the general note explicitly state the base year for WPI escalation has to be 1 January 2008, the escalation factor of 35.08% considered by AIPL to arrive at the indexed Scale of Rates taking the base as 1 January 2008 based on the applicable escalation factor announced by this Authority vide letter no.TAMP/12/2009-Misc. dated 12 April 2016 is found to be in order. (viii). It is seen that the tariff items notified vide Order of February 2009 have been subjected to change in view of the application of applicable escalation factor. For the subsequent years as well, the indexation to the extent of 60% of the WPI occurring between January 2008 and January of the relevant year has to be with reference to the tariff approved vide Order no.TAMP/17/2008-VPT dated 12 February 2009 and not with reference to the indexed Scale of Rates approved in this Order. The General note to Schedule (2) to (4) proposed by AIPL retaining the general note approved in the Order dated 24 February 2009 is, therefore, suitably modified clarifying this position. This is in line with the prescription made in the Scale of Rates of other BOT operators governed under 2008 guidelines who have commenced the operations. (ix). All the other conditionalities governing the application of the rates as approved in the Scale of Rates of the Order dated 12 February 2009 are retained subject to the following. (a). The Government of India in the Ministry of Shipping (MOS) undercover of its letter No.PT-11033/51/2014-PT dated 11 November 2014 has forwarded a copy of the14 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART III—SEC. 4] guidelines on priority berthing of coastal vessels at Major Port issued vide letter No.PT-11033/51/2014-PT dated 4 September 2014 to the Authority. Accordingly, this Authority vide its Order No.TAMP/52/2014-Genl. dated 28 November 2014 has, inter alia, approved the replacement of definition of ‘Coastal Vessel’ prescribed in the existing SOR of all the Major Port Trusts as follows: “Coastal vessel” shall mean any vessel exclusively employed in trading between any port or place in India to any other port or place in India having a valid coastal licence issued by the Director General of Shipping/ Competent Authority. Therefore, the definition of Coastal Vessel proposed by the AIPL has been modified in line with the above mentioned definition of ‘Coastal Vessel”. (b). It is relevant to state here that this Authority in view of the clarification sought by the V.O. Chidambaranar Port Trust regarding levy of concessional charges for coastal cargo/container has passed an Order No.TAMP/53/2015-VOCPT dated 29 September 2015 based on the recommendations of Directorate General (DG) Shipping. The provisions approved in the said Order were further amended vide Order No.TAMP/53/2015-VOCPT dated 26 November 2015. The said Order passed is for common adoption by all the Major Port Trusts. Subsequent to the said Order, the DG Shipping vide its letter no.SD-9 CHART(309)/2016 dated 20 May 2016 has issued further clarification on the provision approved in the 26 November 2015 Order. This Authority has accordingly passed a clarificatory Order slightly amending the provision prescribed in para 9A (ii) and 10(ii) of the Order dated 26 November 2015. The amended provisions approved by this Authority in the recent Order has been updated accordingly, in the Scale of Rates of AIPL. (c). For ousting priority/ priority berth hire charges, the AIPL has proposed a general condition stating that the rates and conditions for granting ousting priority berthing/ priority berthing are governed by the Government guidelines in this regard and provisions in the SOR of VPT. The said prescription is as approved in the upfront tariff Scale of Rates approved in the Order dated 12 February 2008 for VPT to invite bids. Now the current exercise is to notify the Scale of Rates in the name of the BOT operator. Hence, linking levy of priority/ ousting priority berthing charges to the Scale of Rates of VPT will lead to ambiguity and confusion while implementing the Scale of Rates by the BOT operator, when a Scale of Rates exclusive to the operator is notified. The Scale of Rates of VPT prescribes specific conditions relating to charges for priority berthing and ousting priority. The proposed note is, therefore, replaced with the conditionalities relating to ousting priority and priority berth hire charges in line with the prescription in the Scale of Rates of VPT to avoid any ambiguity. (x). As per clause 3.8.5 of the 2008 guidelines, if any question arises requiring clarifications or interpretation of the Scale of Rates and the statement of conditions, the matter shall be referred to this Authority and its decision in this regard will be binding on the operator. (xi). The AIPL is expected to perform at least at the performance standards / norms brought out in the bid documents / Concession Agreement. The actual performance of the AIPL will be monitored by this Authority. If any complaint regarding quality of service is received, this Authority may enquire into such allegation and forward its findings to the VPT. If any action is to be taken against the AIPL, the VPT shall initiate appropriate action in accordance with the provisions of the Concession Agreement. (xii). During the commercial operation at the terminal, within 15 days from the end of every quarter, the AIPL is directed to submit to this Authority through the VPT a report containing the physical and financial performance at EQ-10 berth in the Northern Arm of Inner Harbour during the preceding three months. 7.2. In the result, and for the reasons given above and based on collective application of mind, this Authority approves the Scale of Rates for the EQ-10 berth in the Northern Arm of Inner Harbour of Visakhapatnam Port for handling liquid cargo (excluding POL products) on DBFOT basis at Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT) to be operated by the AIPL at VPT attached as Annex. 7.3. The Scale of Rates notified for AIPL will come into force from the date of commencement of commercial operations by AIPL at VPT.¹Hkkx IIIµ[k.M 4º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 15 T.S.
