final destination of the cargo. This would be in addition to dedicated

berth, for handling of Coastal Thermal Coal already existing in Major

Ports, if any.

(iii). All Major Ports shall accord priority berthing through specific window

to coastal container vessels keeping in view the concession agreements

area of the Ports to further facilitate movement of coastal cargoes.

(ix). Major Ports shall clearly work out the time limit within which a coastal

vessel would be berthed in a particular port. This time limit may differ

time limit within which a coastal vessel would be given a berth in the port.

As regards priority berthing through a specific window to coastal

PPP operator and publish the specific window for coastal container

vessels. The above mentioned exercise and publication should be
