THE Department of Shipping is working on a proposal to introduce a Shipping Trade Practices Bill that would cover all intermediaries and logistics service providers involved in export and import of cargo.

Speaking to reporters, Mr D.T. Joseph, Secretary, Department of Shipping, said, "The idea is to bring all services rendered in arranging and transportation of export import cargo under some kind of quality control. We also propose setting up of a tribunal that would take care of disputes involving these service providers."

The services also include those extended at container freight stations, inland container depot, in transit warehouses, amongst others.
