Adani Hazira Port: Extra Charges for Import Container CFS

Adani Hazira Port Pvt Ltd, a unit of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ), has announced its intention to impose extra charges on container freight station (CFS) operators for the nomination of import loaded containers taken to a CFS. The new charges, effective from 8 September, amount to Rs 2,500 for a 20 ft container and Rs 4,000 for 40 and 45 ft containers. However, the Container Freight Stations Association of India (CFSAI) has criticised the move, considering it an "arbitrary charge" and an "abuse of dominant position."

CFS operators argue that Hazira port doesn't provide any additional services justifying the extra charge. The new levy is expected to increase the transaction cost for clearing import containers at Hazira port, potentially impacting CFS operators and importers. Adani's move comes amidst the opening of a new CFS by a joint venture involving A P Moller-Maersk, which may lead to loss of business for the Adani-operated EXIM yard.

Adani Hazira Port claims the new levy is aligned with its initiative to streamline operations and facilitate faster CFS turnaround. Industry voices, including the CFSAI, are seeking government intervention. The situation highlights the intricate dynamics of container ports, shipping lines, and CFS operations.
