- The Minister of Shipping, Road Transport & Highways and Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation Shri Nitin Gadkari digitally flagged off a RoRo cum general cargo vessel M.V. IDM DOODLE from Chennai Port to Mongla port in Bangladesh.
- The Coastal Shipping Agreement between India and Bangladesh was signed during Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s visit to Bangladesh in June 2015.
- Based on the agreement sea transportation from Indian ports to Bangladesh ports is being treated as coastal movement, making it eligible for 40% concession on vessel related and cargo related charges.
- For coastal movement through RoRo vessels, 80% concession on vessel related and cargo related charges are applicable in Indian Ports.
- The fuel consumption at per tonne cargo is much lower via sea route, so transportation by sea will also reduce carbon footprints on the environment.
