Rajya Sabha
Captive Cargo Handling Berths have been set up by private parties at some of the major ports in the past as per the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Shipping on Private Sector Participation for development of port infrastructure in 1996. These guidelines include broad parameters on development of captive berths at Major Ports under the administrative control of the Ministry.
The policy for the Captive Use of Major Ports is at present under consideration in the Ministry under a Committee constituted for recommending various steps for increasing the efficiency of the ports and for encouraging the private enterprise to take part in the functioning of the ports. With the aforesaid objectives in mind, the Committee is also looking into the subject of recommending guidelines for creation of captive use facility by port based industries within the Major Ports. The proposed policy is likely to bring in private investment in the port sector.
This information was given by the Union Minister of Shipping, Shri G. K. Vasan in written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
