Equinox

Arising out of the recent issues between the trailer driver and custom officials, there has been a significant drop in the Gate productivity as the Customs have tightened up activities at the gate.

This is leading to another spate of congestion and productivity loss inside the Port, increased Port stay, erratic schedules and missed connections.   

The roads leading to the Port are complete choked with export queue of approx. 15 km long..

The situation inside the second terminal is normal, however Export containers are facing delays due to the long queue.
