CONTAINERS continue to wait on trucks trying to get into the Port of Chennai as police work to clear bottlenecks on the roads outside, which have caused a cargo slowdown for a week, reports the Times of India.
Trucks have been parked in a long line outside the port. "At least 300 to 400 containers have been waiting for entry into Chennai port. Successive holidays also affected trade and slowing down clearance further," said a customs agent.
But a senior port official said the situation has improved inside the port and all vessels in outer anchorage had been given permission to berth and load or unload cargo. "The crisis should be resolved in three days," an customs official said. "We will deploy more customs officials at the port to help sort out the problem."
