In view of the geopolitical disturbance in the Middle East, the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways (MoPSW) has issued a Standard Operating Procedure (SoP) for major ports to address potential disruptions and ensure smooth handling of affected cargo and vessels.

According to the ministry, the SOP outlines operational and facilitation measures to help ports manage cargo flows efficiently during the ongoing situation. The ministry issued the SOP over the weekend.
Ports have been directed to appoint a Nodal Officer at the level of Head of Department (HOD) or Deputy HOD, who will act as a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for operational issues arising at ports.
The officer will be available 24x7, and ports will publish the officer’s name, designation, contact number and email ID on their websites.
