General Principles of Assessment
(i)
The minimum weight/measurement chargeable shall be 1 tonne/1 CBM although the gross weight/measurement may be less than 1 tonne/1 CBM. In case where the charge is on weight basis and the gross weight is not an exact multiple of 100 Kgs, the same will be rounded of to the next higher multiple of 100 Kgs. Where the gross CBM includes decimals, the same should be rounded of to the next higher whole unit of CBM.
(ii)
Rates applicable for a period/unit other than weight shall be applicable to the part of a period/unit thereof.
(iii)
Unless otherwise specified, if port equipment is booked for landing/shipment of cargo/container from/into vessel or for any other purpose by the vessel, equipment hire charge as specified in Section 17.1 shall be levied on the vessel agent/owner.
(iv)
Cargo Related Charges shall be levied on the owners of the cargo or their Clearing and Forwarding Agents / Handling Agents except where specified otherwise, or in cases where Ship Owners/Steamer Agents agree to pay such charges.
(v)
In case of FCL container, except the containers from/to ICDs/Customs Notified CFS, the charges related to container and the containerised cargo including the on-board (also for use of equipment if any), shore handling and storage charges thereon shall be levied on the owner of the cargo or his Clearing & Forwarding Agent/Handling Agent. However, port may recover such charges from Container Agents/ Main Line Operators (MLO) if the Container Agents/ Main Line Operators (MLO) applies for destuffing of FCL container in absence of Importer/Exporter arranging delivery/shipment of the container.
In case of LCL container, empty container and container from/to ICDs/Customs Notified CFS, the charges related to container and the containerised cargo including the on-board (also for use of equipment if any), shore handling and storage charges thereon shall be levied on the Container Agents/ Main Line Operator (MLO)s.
However, after destuffing or prior to stuffing, the cargo related charges, if any, shall be levied on the owner of the cargo or his Clearing & Forwarding Agent / Handling Agent.
(vi)
Storage charges on Containers have been denominated in US Dollar terms. However, charge in such case shall be recovered in Indian Rupee after conversion of US currency to Indian Rupee at the Reserve Bank of India’s reference rates. The exchange rate prevalent on the date of entry of the vessel into port limit shall be reckoned as the date for such conversion.
However, if a container received for shipment is subsequently removed from docks without being shipped, the date of entry for such container in the port premises shall be reckoned as the date for this purpose.
(vii)
(viii)
(a). Vessel related charges shall be levied on the Ship Owners/Steamer Agents. Wherever rates have been denominated in US Dollar terms, the charge shall be recovered in Indian Rupees after conversion of US currency to Indian Rupee at the Reserve Bank of India’s reference rate. The date of entry of vessel into port limit shall be reckoned as the date for such conversion.
(b). Container related charges denominated in US dollar terms shall be collected in equivalent Indian Rupees based on the market buying rate prevalent on the date of entry of the vessel in case of import containers; and on the date of arrival of the containers into the port in case of export containers.
(a). The Vessel related charges for all Coastal vessels should not exceed 60% of the corresponding charges for other vessels.
(b). The cargo / container related charges for all Coastal cargo / containers, other than thermal coal, POL including crude oil, Iron Ore and Iron pallets, should not exceed 60% of the normal cargo / container related charges.
(c). In case of cargo related charges, the concessional rates should be levied on all the relevant handling charges for ship-shore transfer and transfer from / to quay to / from storage yard including wharfage.
(d). In case of container related charges, the concession is applicable on composite box rate. Where itemized charges are levied, the concession will be on all the relevant charges for ship-shore transfer, and transfer from / to quay to / from storage yard as well as wharfage on cargo and containers.
(e). For the purpose of this concession, cargo/ container from a foreign port which reaches an Indian Port ‘A’ for subsequent transhipment to Indian Port ‘B’ will also qualify insofar as the charges relevant for its coastal voyage. In other words, cargo/containers from/to Indian Ports carried by vessels permitted to undertake coastal voyage will qualify for the concession.
(f). The charges for coastal cargo/ containers/ vessels shall be denominated and collected in Indian Rupee.
(ix)
In all cases where charges are levied in US Dollar terms, the exchange rate shall be reviewed once in every 30 days from the date of applicable exchange rate adopted initially in respect of storage charge for containers staying inside the Port for more than 30 days or in respect of vessel related charges for vessels staying in the Port for more than 30 days. In such cases, the basis of billing shall change prospectively with reference to the appropriate exchange rate prevailing at the time of review.
(x)
Samples, Catalogues and other articles for which Shipping Companies charge no freight and on which no Customs duty is payable, diplomatic mail bags, crew baggage and all goods meant for KOPT's use shall be exempted from payment of all cargo related charges.
(xi)
No charge shall be levied on stores/ provisions supplied on board KOPT crafts/vessels.
(xii)

Interest on delayed payments / refunds:
The user shall pay penal interest on delayed payments under this Scale of Rates. Likewise, the KOPT shall pay penal interest on delayed refunds.
The rate of penal interest will be 13%. The penal interest rate will apply to both the KOPT and the port users equally.
The delay in refunds will be counted only 20 days from the date of completion of services or on production of all the documents required from the users, whichever is later.
The delay in payments by the users will be counted only 10 days after the date of raising the bills by the KOPT. This provision shall, however, not apply to the cases where payment is to be made before availing the services / use of Port Trust’s properties as stipulated in the Major Port Trust Act and / or where payment of charges in advance is prescribed as a condition in this Scale of Rates.
(xv)
Before classifying any cargo under “unspecified category” or otherwise, if required, to know the nature of cargo for levy of Port charges, the relevant Customs classification shall be referred to in order to find out whether the cargo can be classified under any of the specified categories mentioned in the schedules.

The corresponding vessel related rates should be applied depending on the status of the vessel at the time of the incidence of such charge.
(xvii) For the purpose of charging, Shipper’s Own Containers will be at par with the Marine Freight Containers
(xviii) Users will not be required to pay charges for delays beyond a reasonable level attributable to the KOPT.
(xix) (a). Wherever a specific tariff for a service/cargo is not available in the notified Scale of Rates, the KOPT can submit a suitable proposal to the TAMP.
(b). Simultaneously with the submission of proposal, the proposed rate can be levied on an ad hoc basis till the rate is finally notified.
(c). The ad hoc rate to be operated in the interim period must be derived based on existing notified tariffs for comparable services/ cargo; and, it must be mutually agreed upon by the Port/ Terminal and the concerned user(s).
(d). The final rate fixed by the TAMP will ordinarily be effective only prospectively. The interim rate adopted in an ad hoc manner will be recognised as such unless it is found to be excessive requiring some moderation retrospectively.
(xx) (a). The rates prescribed in this Scale of Rates are ceiling levels; likewise, rebates and discounts are floor levels. The KOPT may, if it so desires, charge lower rates and/ or allow higher rebates and discounts.
(b). The KOPT may also, if it so desires, rationalize the prescribed conditionalities governing the application of rates prescribed in the Scale of Rates if such rationalization gives relief to the user in rate per unit and the unit rates prescribed in the Scale of Rates do not exceed the ceiling levels.
(c). Provided that the KOPT should notify the public such lower rates and / or rationalization of the conditionalities governing the application of such rates and continue to notify the public any further changes in such lower rates and / or in the conditionalities governing the application of such rates provided the new rates fixed shall not exceed the rates notified by the TAMP.
