Shipping Ministry calls for 0% wait time by 2025
01 Jun 2022
Shipping Ministry (MoPSW) has directed all major ports to establish enough infrastructure by 2025 to achieve 0% waiting time for inbound and outgoing goods. MoPSW has stated that port capacity requirements in 2047 will be six times the current capacity. In case of limitations on waterfronts or land availability, the major ports will consider establishing satellite ports. A comprehensive master plan has been asked to be drafted encompassing freight predictions, warehousing and other aspects, with the ultimate goal of achieving efficient logistics for economic development.
