According to a source-based information, union shipping ministry may not rush to relax cabotage laws for other ports in the country. This follows the demand from different ports, including JN Port and Vishakhapatnam for similar relaxations. The ministry may first study the impact of relaxation of the laws for international container transhipment terminal (ICTT) at Vallarpadam Kochi before relaxing it in other ports

Cabotage norms to be eased
In a bid to promote transhipment activity at the International Container Transshipment Terminal in Kochi, the shiÂpÂÂping ministry is considering relaxing the cabotage norms.
