Shipping Customs agents seek ground rent charges refund Our Bureau
Chennai , July 3 THE Chennai Custom House Agents Association has approached the Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP) to help them get refund of ground rent charges collected by the Chennai Container Terminal Ltd during the recent strike period in the terminal. The private terminal operator has not given any assurance to the trade whether the rent will be refunded, a press release issued by the association said. Due to congestion in the terminal, export containers loaded from outstation and local container freight stations (CFS) are queuing up inside the port and outside the harbour. This has, in turn, increased the turnaround time for trailers, and drivers and cleaners are forced to stay in vehicles for more than two days, before the containers are loaded on ships. Also, the long queue of container-laden trailers is causing traffic and law and order problems, the release said.
