## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF SHIPPING (SHRI PON RADHAKRISHNAN)

## ANSWER

- (a)to(c):No, Madam, Major Port Trusts under the Govt. of India do not award any contract to Stevedores. Ports only issue license to the stevedores as per the statute of respective port. There is no such irregularity reported in the Ministry in this regard. The details of the stevedoring license holders during the last three years, port-wise is enclosed at Annexure.
- (d) In order to overcome the issues related to Land allotments in Major Ports, the Ministry of Shipping has issued New Land Policy Guidelines 2014. The Major Ports are required to allot the land within the respective port as per the guidelines.

The Major Ports issue the Stevedoring licenses to the eligible firms for undertaking Stevedoring  activity  as  per  Licensing  of  Stevedores  regulations  for each  Major  Port approved by the Ministry as per Stevedoring Policy 2009. The Policy is reviewed by the Ministry based on the inputs from the Major Ports time to time.
