India contains cargo diversion to foreign ports for transshipment, says official
Government s relaxing of norms for transshipment has not only helped India arrest a sizeable chunk of its container cargo going to ports like Colombo, Singapore, and Jebel Ali but also forced a few foreign ports to cut rates, according to a top official.
India has been trying hard to arrest diversion of container cargo to transshipment hubs at foreign ports. In May, the Centre relaxed cabotage norms allowing foreign ships, chartered by Indian citizens or companies, to ply on local routes for transshipment purposes.Posted On:14-Aug-2018

Commercial Priorities A Challenge For Port Safety
Putting commerciality over safety and total ownership ideals is a major challenge for the ports and terminals industry, according to Stephan Stiehler, vice chairman of the International Cargo Handling Coordination Association’s Technical Panel.
Speaking exclusively to Port Strategy at TOC Europe, Mr Stiehler claimed that all too often, terminal operators only invest in technology to meet minimum safety standards. "The cheapest safety technology is often not the one that will 100% minimise risk," he said.Posted On:14-Aug-2018

Port of Hueneme, deepening project
On July 18, 2018, the Port of Hueneme welcomed two rails cars worth of new eco-friendly pilings for their new harbor deepening project set to begin late this summer. The new pilings come to the Port onboard its own rail, and entered on the South Spur at the Sunkist Lot.
As the pilings are impervious to marine creatures and salt water, they are not treated with chemicals as traditional pilings would be, and therefore do not harm any of the marine life in the harbor.Posted On:14-Aug-2018
