The Deendayal Port Authority in India has released updated standard operating procedures (SOPs) for ship-to-ship (STS) transfers. These new guidelines are specifically designed for vessels handling dry bulk and dry breakbulk cargo at the Kandla OBT anchorage. The implementation of these procedures is intended to streamline operations and improve safety protocols during cargo transfers between ships.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this update from Deendayal Port Authority signifies a formalization of processes that could lead to more predictable and safer handling of dry bulk and breakbulk shipments in the region. Understanding these new SOPs will be crucial for planning and executing STS transfers, potentially reducing delays and mitigating risks associated with cargo operations at the Kandla OBT anchorage.
