Shipping ministry suggests steps to ease export backlog
The Ministry of Shipping (MoS) has suggested introduction of ‘direct interchange’ of containers to ease the existing backlog in the Chattogram Port.
‘Direct interchange’ means that a container belonging to one particular line can be used by others.
The MoS also suggested signing of a ‘common carrier agreement’ between the mainline operators and the feeder lines to tackle the crisis.
‘Common carrier agreement’ is a deal where the available feeder vessel can transport the available stuffed goods under its authority. This means available vessels can carry the goods up to Singapore Port and Colombo Port to link with mother vessels.
