The port is working on the implementation of these conditions, sources in the port told Business Line. A meeting of the port users and the port authorities was held on Tuesday evening to discuss the implementation of these conditions.

Sources in the shipping sector said that the port is adhering to most of these conditions. However, another meeting will be held on Wednesday to review the implementation of the conditions.
