Chennai Port Trust (ChPT) said it would allow the vessel MT Pratibha Cauvery to be berthed at the port provided the owners paid the requisite berthing charges and got the documents validated.
The ship, which lost both of its anchors on October 31 owing to gusty winds caused by cyclone Nilam, is currently being held in outer anchorage by a tow boat.
This follows the direction of the Directorate General of Shipping to ChPT to berth the vessel in one of its berths subject to certain conditions.
The directive sent has asked the vessel owner to fulfill some eight conditions that are mandatory for a ship to enter a port.
