A single-window facility for the customers established by the Cochin Port Trust was formally inaugurated by Mr Paul Antony, Chairman, on Thursday.
The facility will cater to the documentation of all cargo-related activities at Mattancherry Wharf, Ernakulam Wharf and oil tanker berths under the port trust. The facility will act as one-stop service window for entry/exit and billing for the pre-stage facility and clearance for export and import containers.
The facility will also provide billing service for storage of containers and reefer service. Daily wharf entry pass for the customers and crew of the cargo vehicles will also be issued from the facility. The facility will function on all days from 0600 hours to 2200 hours.
Mr A.A. Abdul Azeez, President of Cochin Custom House Agents Association, welcomed the commencement of the service. The facility has online connectivity to the Customs and Port systems and facilitates real time billing and document generation. Mr D. Anilkumar, Assistant Traffic Manager, will be in charge of the facility.
