Police movement ban impact on port formalities

03 Apr 2020 / Kandla, India

Cargo and vessel clearance formalities at the Port of Kandla have today (3 April) been impacted by local police authorities not allowing people to move around between the hours of 1100 and 1700 hours, in a move to avoid community transmission due to COVID-19.

This has affected the movements of shipping staff who move around for various cargo and vessel related clearance formalities.

After taking this up, the District Administration has confirmed port operations and related transportation activities to be permitted as normal and not interrupted by any means. Cargo dispatch from storage terminals will resume on the basis of this.
