Cargo
Handling
-
Special
attention needs to be given to the speedy handling of
cargo to reduce its dwell time. The objective will be
to reduce dwell time of exports from the present level
of 4 days to 12 hours, and of imports for the present
level of 4 weeks to 24 hours to bring us in line with
internationally achieved norms. Cargo clearance will be
on 24-hour basis.
-
Infrastructure
relating to cargo handling like satellite freight cities
with multi-modal transport, cargo terminals, cold storage,
automatic storage and retrieval systems, mechanized transportation
of cargo, computerization and automation, etc., will be
set up on top priority basis. Such facilities have to
come up at smaller places too.
-
The
Electronic Data Interchange Systems will be developed
and linked amongst all stake-holders in the trade.
