TARIFF AUTHORITY FOR MAJOR PORTS

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY

[PART III—SEC. 4]

NOTIFICATION

Mumbai, the 3rd December 2015

No. TAMP/53/2015-VOCPT.—In exercise of the powers conferred by Sections 48 and 50 of the Major Port

Trusts Act, 1963 (38 of 1963), the Tariff Authority for Major Ports hereby issues amendment to the provisions

prescribed in the common adoption Order No.TAMP/53/2015-VOCPT passed by this Authority on 29 September, 2015

with reference to the application filed by V.O. Chidambaranar Port Trust seeking clarification regarding levy of

concessional charges for coastal cargo/ container, as in the Order appended hereto.

Tariff Authority for Major Ports

Case No.TAMP/53/2015-VOCPT

ORDER

(Passed on this 26^th day of November, 2015)

This Authority vide its Order No.TAMP/53/2015-VOCPT dated 29 September, 2015 has disposed of the

application filed by V.O. Chidambaranar Port Trust (VOCPT) seeking clarification regarding levy of concessional

charges for coastal cargo/container by passing a common adoption Order for Major Port Trusts and Private Terminal

Operators thereat giving immediate effect to the said Order.

1.2.

A copy of the Order dated 29 September, 2015 was forwarded to all Major Port Trust, all relevant BOT

operators, Director General (Shipping) and relevant users vide our letter dated 29 September, 2015.

In this connection, the PSA SICAL vide its letter dated 9 October, 2015 has made submissions. The main

submissions made by the PSA SICAL are summarised below:

(i)

In the TAMP’s clarification, a missing link is created in the customs conversion order requirement for

applicability of Coastal Tariff for Coastal containers carried on Indian or Foreign Flag foreign going

vessels in point 9C.

(ii)

While point 9A and 9B talk about Customs Conversion as a prerequisite for availing the concessional

Vessel Related Charges, it is silent on this front for Cargo Related Charges. Under this, it can be

misinterpreted that the Foreign Going Indian Flag (or foreign) vessels can claim coastal tariff for

coastal containers without converting into coastal run. This will result in Vessel Related Charges

being paid for Foreign Run and Coastal tariff being charged for coastal containers. In an effect, this

creates non-level playing field between Port and Terminal and will definitely result in discriminate

treatment among Port and Terminal.

(iii)

PSA SICAL Terminals Limited, Tuticorin have been following the guidelines issued by TAMP vide

the common adoption order No.TAMP/2/97-MPT dated 2 June, 1998 for the application of coastal

tariff and no ambiguity has arisen out of the said procedure. The coastal vessels are eligible by default

for coastal tariff and the foreign going Indian vessels need to submit the Customs Conversion Order to

avail the concessional coastal tariff.

(iv)

The latest TAMP Order prescribes the criteria for availing concessional Vessel Related Charges

(VRC) and Cargo Related Charges (CRC).

(v)

In 9A and 9B, the Custom Conversion Order requirement is pre-requisite criteria for availing the

benefits of coastal VRC, whereas paragraph 9C, arbitrarily and without any justification dispenses

with this requirement for the purposes of CRC.

(vi)

If the TAMP Order were to be implemented, the Port Trusts would continue to earn money on VRC

without any impact and it is only the BOT operators who would suffer as a result of the TAMP Order.

(vii)

The TAMP Order may incentivize foreign going Indian vessels not to obtain Custom Conversion

Certificates and to convert to coastal run, as they can avail concessional CRC rates without obtaining

the Customs Conversion Certificate by virtue of the TAMP Order. It is hence also important to

understand the stand of the Customs Department on this issue regarding the change in the existing

procedure.

(viii)

The above will cause severe hardship to the BOT Operators in particular and result in unfair

discrimination between Port Trusts and BOT Operators.

(ix)

The issues raised including the details of documents to be submitted to the terminal by a vessel for

availing the concessional coastal tariff and the stand of the Customs Department on the issue may be

clarified.

(x)

An opportunity of hearing and making a representation in this regard may be provided.

¹Hkkx IIIµ[k.M 4º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k

(xi)

Pending clarifications to the above issue, it has requested to refrain from notifying or implementing the

TAMP Order and allow it to continue charging on the basis of the existing regime.

In the meantime, the INSA sent an email dated 15 October, 2015 addressed to DG Shipping, VOCPT and to

this Authority. The INSA has requested urgent intervention to ensure that PSA SICAL gives full effect to the said order

of this Authority without any excuse and that if PSA SICAL wishes to obtain some kind of clarification etc. they are free

to do so. Pending their obtaining clarification, INSA has requested that full effect must be given to the said order of this

Authority as the same is valid and subsisting now.

The issue raised by the PSA SICAL and the submissions of the INSA were communicated to the DG

(Shipping) vide our letter dated 23 October, 2015 along with draft modifications to clauses 9(A), (B) and (C) of the

Order dated 29 September, 2015 with a request to examine the modified clauses in light of the issues raised by the PSA

SICAL.

5.1.

In the meantime, an interim communication was sent to PSA SICAL with a copy endorsed to VOCPT and DG

(Shipping) vide our letter dated 26 October, 2015 stating that the intention of this Authority in prescribing the provisions

at para 9(C)(ii)(a) of the said Order is very explicit that cargo/container loaded from any Indian port and destined for any

other Indian port should be levied the concessional rate applicable for coastal cargo/container irrespective of the status of

the vessel and that this flows from Section 51 of the Major Port Trusts Act, 1963 which calls for prescription of lower

rate for coastal goods carried in a vessel from one Indian port to another Indian port, as already recorded in our Order

dated 29 September, 2015.

5.2.

The PSA SICAL was also advised to implement the Order dated 29 September, 2015 passed by this Authority.

It was stated that a detailed clarificatory Order will be issued in due course of time after receipt of response from DG

Shipping.

6.1.

We have also received communication dated 2 November, 2015 from the India Gateway Terminal Pvt. Ltd.

(IGTPL) giving its comments/views on the Order dated 29 September, 2015 passed by this Authority.

6.2.

It is relevant here to state that the IGTPL was intimated about the consultation process initiated on the

application earlier filed by the VOCPT alongwith other stakeholders. At that point of time, the IGTPL did not furnish

any comments/response. Now, referring to the Order dated 29 September, 2015, IGTPL has sought clarifications on

provisions prescribed at para 9(C) and has also suggested amendments to a few clauses to bring clarity and has requested

this Authority to amend the Order accordingly. The points made by the IGTPL, amendment suggested by IGTPL to the

September, 2015 Order of this Authority along with our analysis thereon are given below:

(i)

Clause 9(C)(i)

The clause mentions that in the case of Foreign going Indian vessel having General Trading License

issued for ‘Worldwide and Coastal’ operation should be charged coastal rates. As per this clause, even

containers destined for a Foreign port will have to be charged at coastal rates. The clause to be

amended to exclude containers destined for Foreign ports or coming from Foreign ports.

Amendment proposed by IGTPL: Foreign going Indian vessel having General Trading License

issued for ‘worldwide and coastal’ operation should be accorded applicable coastal rates for coastal

cargo/ container with respect to Handling Charges (HC) i.e. ship to shore transfer and transfer from/ to

quay to/ from storage yard including wharfage.

Analysis:

The point made by the IGTPL is to add the words “coastal cargo/ container” or else containers

destined for a Foreign port will have to be charged at coastal rates. In the revised formulation received

from DG (Shipping) vide their letter dated 19 November 2015 which is brought out in the subsequent

paragraph, the point made by IGTPL is taken care of. The word “cargo” added in the amended

provision is to be taken broadly to cover cargo as well as container.

(ii)

Clause 9(C)(ii)(a):

The clause mentions that containers moved between two Indian ports should be charged coastal tariff

irrespective of the flag of the vessel. Thus, a Foreign vessel could also move containers between

Indian ports without conversion to coastal run. This seems to be contrary to Sec. 407 of The Merchant

Shipping Act which permits only Indian vessels or vessels converted for coastal run for movement of

cargo/ containers between Indian ports.

Amendment proposed by IGTPL: Cargo/container loaded from any Indian Port and destined for any

other Indian Port should be levied the rate applicable for coastal cargo/container provided the

containers are carried by vessels duly converted for coastal run or Foreign going Indian vessel having

General Trading License issued for ‘worldwide and coastal’ operation.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY

[PART III—SEC. 4]

Analysis:

The modified provision at 10(ii) prescribed by this Authority based on the revised formulation

received from the DG Shipping will take care of the point made by the IGTPL.

(iii)

Clause 9(C)(ii)(b):

This will further increase the cost of Indian exports. Moreover, permitting foreign flag vessels to

move cargo/ containers between Indian ports seems contrary to the requirements of Sec 407 of the

Merchant Shipping Act. Movements between Indian ports should continue to be charged at coastal

rates. Earlier TAMP Order No.TAMP/4/2004-Genl dated 7 January, 2005, clause 3 (v & vi) is clear in

this respect.

Amendment proposed by IGTPL: Cargo/container loaded from any Indian Port and unloaded at any

other Indian Port as a transit cargo/container but is finally destined to/from any Foreign Port will

qualify for coastal tariff insofar as the charges relevant for its coastal voyage.

Analysis:

The DG (Shipping) vide its communication dated 19 November, 2015 has suggested to delete

provision prescribed in 9(C)(ii)(b) of the Authority’s Order dated 29 September, 2015 citing that the

provision relates to exim (foreign) cargo.

SICAL with a request to CBEC and IPA to provide inputs and also to make it convenient to attend the meeting

scheduled to be held on 16 November, 2015 to discuss the matter.

The DG (Shipping) vide their email dated 9 November, 2015 convened a meeting on 16 November, 2015 to

discuss the issue raised by PSA SICAL with reference to the Order dated 29 September, 2015 passed by this Authority.

8.1.

The meeting was represented by VOCPT, CBEC, Indian National Ship Owners’ Association (INSA), Indian

Private Ports and Terminals Association (IPPTA), officials of this Authority, Shreyas Relay System Ltd., ICC Shipping

Association and Southern India Mills Association (SIMA). The Secretary General, Indian Private Ports and Terminals

Association (IPPTA) was also present in the meeting representing the private terminals, including the PSA SICAL.

Since the DG (Shipping) initiated consultation process, a separate consultation process by this Authority on the same

matter was not felt necessary.

8.2.

As per the communication No.SD-12/Misc(17)/14 dated 19 November, 2015 received from the DG (Shipping),

the issue raised by the PSA SICAL that when a foreign going Indian flag vessel moves domestic cargo/ container

without a customs conversion order port will charge vessel related charges at foreign going rates while the terminal will

charge cargo related charges at concessional rates and therefore the Order dated 29 September, 2015 issued by this

Authority is discriminatory was discussed in the meeting. As recorded in the communication of DG (Shipping), the

Commissioner (Customs), representing the Central Board of Excise & Customs (CBEC), Ministry of Finance

(Department of Revenue), Government of India has conveyed that there is a special dispensation to foreign going Indian

vessels, as per CBEC circular no.15/2002 dated 25 February, 2002. As per the said circular dated 25 February, 2002,

foreign going Indian vessels are allowed to carry EXIM cargo as well as coastal cargo between Indian ports without

obtaining the customs conversion order. The coastal cargo is clearly marked on such foreign going Indian vessel, for

identification. The representative of vessel owners present in the meeting endorsed that foreign going Indian vessels can

carry domestic cargo without customs conversion in terms of the CBEC circular dated 25 February, 2002. Customs

consider such cargo on board a foreign going Indian vessel as coastal cargo in view of CBEC circular, as submitted by

the representatives of vessel owners. It has been reported by them in the meeting that all other ports in India are giving

the concession to coastal cargo. It is also seen from the above referred communication of DG (Shipping) that after

deliberation in the meeting, it has been concluded that the Vessel Related Charges (VRC) and Cargo Related Charges

(CRC) are distinct and cannot be correlated. It is noteworthy that the IPPTA representative is in agreement with the

position that no separate conversion order is required since the foreign going Indian vessels are allowed to carry coastal

cargo as per the CBEC circular. He has stressed that the Order of this Authority may be modified to have more clarity

that no conversion is required for carrying domestic cargo/ container on-board foreign going Indian flag vessel between

Indian ports. As also recorded in the communication of DG (Shipping), the draft modification to clauses 9(A), (B) and

DG (Shipping). The DG (Shipping) have conveyed the agreed modification under the cover of their letter dated

19 November, 2015 to this Authority to issue the modified order. The provisions prescribed in para 9(A), 9(B), 9(C) of
