The Hindu Business Line : Bid to attract more cargo to New Mangalore port

TO attract more container cargo to New Mangalore Port, the Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC) has offered certain concessions to importers and exporters for utilising the services of container freight station (CFS) in the port premises. The concessions include reduction in charges for container handling.

A CWC news release said here that the New Mangalore Port Trust convened an interactive meeting with the representatives of mainline operators, the Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), and CWC in Mangalore recently to devise a measure for the benefit of trade and industry in the region.

During the course of discussion, the CWC regional manager agreed to a request made by KCCI and NMPT to extend some concessions for availing of the facilities at CFS.

Some of the decisions included reduction in container tariff by Rs 400 a container and extension of paper lining facility at a minimum cost of Rs 600 a TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit).
