* Conditions Apply- Perfectly suits to Importers Availing Services Via Nhava sheva port (NSICT/GTI/JNPT).
Although 3 Terminals Share Common Wharf in single quay, but charges slaped on Exim Trade are different.. reason operated by three different operators. Maersk/Dubai port/JNPCT, Technically by their group companies, Importers pay through their noses for containers discharged through this terminals, on top this.. Shipping lines got tied-up with Respective Container Freight Operators to take Delivery of Containers. Around 25 Container Freight stations handling more than 1.80lakh containers from their respective freight stations, Maersk/MSC/CMA-CGM Operating their own container freight stations with Cordial support from other Member shipping lines.
Each got different slabs on Handling & transportation/storage/survey etc.. ensuring the importers getting paid Average Invoice of Rs. 10 -15K/Container, its double for 75% on 40. with kickback to Shipping lines going between 2000/4000 per 20'/40'ft. Yet, all the Management professionals in the Shipping/Freight forwarding/Transport verticals keep watch without any action. Why India .. Logistics cost ever raising.. on 13%. With breakaway on Consortium shipping lines, Every operator charging different Terminal handling levels/survey/container Maintainence charges at inr.1000/20 & inr 2000/40.
Loaded by shipper/ carried by operator/destuffed by their nominated Container freight station, Importer bears the Container damage charges.. who to complain.. If its factory destuff its agreeable - pay on survey report. with shipping lines association either inactive/keep mum as party to the game.
Rather Importers should look at Service Providers with clear cut demands. the guidlines to follow- through in next post.
