3. Success factors Development hinges on timely creation of adequate & appropriate infrastructure Infrastructure expansion must be continuous and in pace with trade growth, preferably leading. Supply chains within India needs predictability Cost of service provision is a key determinant for supply chain sustenance Professional operators working seamlessly is a must

4. Portside handling of Containers New levels of service standards Attract & socialize service providers in supply chain. Port lead development centers, land, buildings, utilities. Manufacturing, processing hubs Warehousing, Empty container depots, CRTs, Distribution Centers/Parks Skilled, unskilled work force availability congenial IR environment, Training Institutes/centers. Issues Availability of :

5. Portside handling of Containers Issues Terminal & allied infrastructure. Connectivity to markets. Access. Berth availability. Tracks & Railhead capacity & allied services. Processes & Service deliveries. New levels of service standards Options for full service terminals/budget terminals. Customized facility e.g. RORO-Facility. First mile, intermodal, last mile connectivity by road, rail, coastal. Connectivity to DFC,DMIC. Connectivity that allows fast transits & economics. Congestion free road, rail corridors. Double stack, python train capability. No pre berthing detention. Structured berth planning. Common Vs dedicated berth options. Adequate capacity creation. Least placement & removal delays of trains. In motion weighbridges. In terminal transfer capabilities. Simpler gate processes. Gate automation RFIDs/OCRs. Web based pre-advise to Terminal Operating systems ( TOS), gate passes generation by customer at office using web facility, EDI transactions, track & trace leveraging on IT.

6. Portside handling of Containers Issues Productivity & efficiency. Economics. Safety Security. New levels of service standards Vessel productivity : With QCs, with MHCs. Truck & Train Turn around Time. Tariff : Full service/ no frills service. Safety : Condition of : vessels, road trucks, containers. Drivers adhering to road safety, working hours. Adherence to weight limits guidelines. Hazardous cargo guidelines. Emergency response plans. ISO 28000 :2007 -security. Leverage of IT Technology..

7. Portside handling of Containers Regulatory Cabotage relaxation : Benefits Improved connectivity : Hub & feeder ports development. Economy of scale- Larger vessel capacity ; better utilization of mainline capacity on coastal leg will lower overall transport cost. Indian flag feeder fleet size 2013 : 15vessels, 15000 TEUs. Cost of operations substantially higher than mainline ( small vessels, higher bunker prices, age of vessels, fiscal policies, tax structure.) Improved productivity and cost efficiency of Indian fleet : EXIM boxes on coastal leg, increase efficiency due to competitive intensity. Will take pressure off overburdened rail & road infra. Will allow balancing of trade. Will allow better transit time and frequency of services allowing to compete with by rail & road movements. Could allow Inland water ways (trade to develop connecting hubs on the coast e.g. in China development in Yangtze & Pearl River delta for trans shipment. Fast track processing by customs for allowing domestication of EXIM boxes. DFC allowed to carry coastal freight

8. Increasing Terminal Capacity Largest QCs to support scales 16 M sailing draft
