DP Worlds ICTT suffers teething problems

DP Worlds recently commissioned International Container Transshipment Terminal at the Indian port of Vallarpadam is said to be suffering serious teething problems.

Delays in clearing cargo has caused congestion in the new terminal

Congestion is being caused by delays in clearing cargo due to intermittent strikes and also to a lack of suitable container freight station installations. The latter are needed to undertake mandatory inspection and clearance of all imported containers.

There have also been numerous protests over the doubling of fees to handle reefer containers.
