Shipping Ministry may reinstate cabotage restriction, initial deliberation begins NEW DELHI: In a Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) push, the Shipping Ministry could reverse the relaxation in cabotage restrictions granted two years ago, allowing foreign flag ships to carry six cargo types along the Indian coast. The move is being pushed by the recently re-constituted National Shipping Board (NSB), the country’s top advisory body on shipping. The Coastal Container Transporters Association (CCTA), which has representation on the NSB, has sought
amendments to the notifications issued by the Directorate General of Shipping in 2018, allowing foreign flag vessels to carry coastal cargo without a license from the DG Shipping.
