He also added that the government has identified a
total potential of 1300 MTPA cargo movement by coastal shipping by 2047.In a bid to enhance coastal cargo handling
capacity and facilitation of passenger movement along the coast, five dedicated
coastal berths have been developed, creating a handling capacity of 6.34 MTPA.
In the year 2014-15, Indian ports handled about 74.97
million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of coastal cargo which jumped to 151 MTPA in
2022-23, witnessing a growth of 104 per cent. National Waterways handled 126.15
MMT cargo in 2022-23 while it was 6.83 MMT in 2013-14.
To facilitate the coastal vessels the MoPSW has also
introduced priority berthing policy and green channel clearance for faster
evacuation of coastal cargo at ports. “A
discount of 40 per cent is offered by major ports on vessels and cargo related
charges to coastal cargo vessels. After looking at the potential the
government has also reduced GST on bunker fuels used in Indian Flag Vessels
from 18 per cent to 5 per cent,†the minister said.
