Chabahar: India Ports Global may ease norms for picking operator
The spectre of being impacted by the US sanctions on Iran could force Indian firms from bidding on a tender to manage, operate and maintain (MOM) the container and multi-purpose terminals at Chabahar port. This will make it tougher for New Delhi to develop the Iranian port for strategic reasons. Earlier, interest in the MOM contract was shadowed by viability concerns. Now, with the decision of the US to scrap the nuclear accord and reinstate sanctions on Iran, India Ports Global Pvt Ltd is re-writing the commercial and financial terms of the MOM contract to attract bids, a person briefed on the development said.Posted On:21-May-2018

Newcastle container terminal plan prompts interstate debate
The Labor opposition might be backing a Newcastle container terminal but the state government still insists that a second terminal after Botany should be at Port Kembla.
The long-mooted plans have become headline news again with the Port of Newcastle s Australian and Chinese owners, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and the ALP all asking questions about the secret fee imposed on Newcastle by the Coalition government as a way of maximising its privatisation returns for Botany and Kembla.
But the government is standing firm, with Roads, Maritime and Freight Minister Melinda Pavey following the previous long-term minister, Duncan Gay, in saying that "port transaction arrangements" did not stop a Newcastle terminal.Posted On:21-May-2018
