Dear Sir,
Subject:Submission of Forwarding Note for ICD Containers
Reference:YourCon/JNP/2014-15/SGM/Punitive Charges of 15thMay 2014
This refers to your above referred circular through email, and the discussion our sub-committee members had with you today in the JNPT Berthing meeting. As discussed in the meeting, we would like to clarify certain points below:
- Whilst our members will take all possible efforts to submit the Forwarding Note prior loading of containers on trains, this will not always be possible for following reasons.
a)Most of the time as soon as the SMTP is received by the
Terminals, the containers are automatically released and loaded on train depending on pendency, before submission of Forwarding Notes.
b)Since, the Forwarding Notes require SMTP Document No., our members have to wait for the receipt of the SMTP, and then prepare and submit the forwarding note. This obviously will take some time, particularly for vessels/containers on weekends and holidays.
c)Also there were times in the past when special permission was obtained by CONCOR from Customs to rail out containers, pending receipt of SMTP documents, in view of severe congestion etc.
- The forwarding notes are reflected with a) the weight as per SMTP, b) the Tare weight of the containers and c) the Gross weight, as required.
- There is no need for CONCOR to add the Tare weight to the container, unless it is not mentioned in the Forwarding Note.

On the basis of above facts, we would request you to kindly revise your above said circular suitably.
We have in the meanwhile advised all our members, to ensure that the Forwarding Notes are submitted immediately upon receipt of the SMTP from ICEGATE, and also to ensure that the Forwarding notes are correctly mentioned with the cargo gross weight, Tare weight of the container, and the total weight of the container.
Assuring you our best co-operation always.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
