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 ( C C TA ) , w h i c h h a s r e p r e s e n t a t i o n o n t h e N S B ,
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. Mr. Rahul Modi, a Member of National Shipping Board & President of CCTA, was recently quoted as saying, “Flow of export-import containers to Indian coastal ships will provide filler cargo and improve the feasibility of ships currently carrying coastal cargo one way.” Cont’d.

In a letter to all Chief Commissioners (Customs and Central Tax), the CBIC said as the situation of COVID-19 pandemic is still prevailing and trade continues to face challenges… as a measure of facilitation, CBIC has decided to extend the facility of 24 x 7 Customs clearance at all the Customs formations till June 30, 2020. In February, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) had said 24×7 Customs clearance facility will be available at all sea ports and airports till May 2020, to address any congestion or delay or surge on account of the prevailing conditions due to outbreak of COVID-19. Chief Commissioners are therefore requested to make proper arrangement for the same and deploy sufficient number of officers on 24 x 7 basis at sea ports/Air Cargo Stations/Inland Container Depot (ICDs)/ Container Freight Station (CFSs) etc falling in their jurisdiction, CBIC said.
