(Passed on this 5th day of November 2001)

This case relates to a representation made by M/s. Capstan Shipping &

Estates Limited (CSE) for fixing special port charges for movement of Calcutta Dock'

System (CDS) and the Haldia Dock Complex (HDC) ofthe Calcutta Port Trust (CPT).

In its representation, the CSE has brought out the various advantages

on inter-dock movement of containers alongwrth comparison of cost of such movement

of containers by different alternate modes of transportation. It has prayed for fixing a

rational rate at both the CDS and the HDC so that the proposed barge service can be

started. It has initially asked for an adhoc rate not exceeding Rs.3000V- per TEU; but,

has subsequently suggested a rate of Rs.1500/- per TEU at the CDS and Rs.1200A

per TEU at the HDC.

In the meanwhile, the CPT has submitted its own proposal for fixation of

ratea for movement of containers by barges between the CDS and the HDC. This

proposal has been registered as a separate case (TAMP/61/2001-CPT) and

processed as per the procedure adopted.

The representation of the CSE has also been processed as per the

procedure adopted.

In view of the Interlinked nature or the two cases, this Authority has

decided to take them up together for final consideration.

This Authority has already passed an Order separately In the case

relating to the CPT proposal. The representation of the CSE alongwith the comments

thereon made by different user-organisations has been considered while disposing of

the proposal of the CPT.

The Scale of Rates of the CPT has accordingly been

amended to incorporate specific rates at the CDS and the HDC for inter-dock

movement of containers by barges. These rates will obviously be applicable to the

containers moved through barges by the Applicant also,

In the result, the representation made by the CSE stands automatically

disposed of.
