  1. Ensure that the time taken from gangway down to cargo commencement is just 1 hour.
  2. PHO/Customs formalities can be clubbed or overlapped along with draught survey time.
  3. All agents to focus on commencing cargo discharge immediately after boarding the vessel with waiting for draught survey figures.
  4. All agents to inform vessels to be ready in all aspects to commence cargo discharge ASAP after boarding of agent/surveyors.
