Chennai International Terminal Pvt Ltd (CITPL), the facility run by Singapore’s PSA International Pte Ltd at Chennai Port, has extended the free time for storage of direct port delivery (DPD) and direct port entry (DPE) containers, in a bid to encourage cargo containers moving directly to and from factories.

The free storage time for DPD containers (imports) has been increased to five days from three days, while the free time for DPE containers (exports) has been extended to 15 days from seven days, CITPL said in a trade notice.

The change in the free storage period for DPD and DPE containers has been approved by the Tariff Authority for Major Ports (TAMP) and will take effect from January 24 and remain valid till August 2022.
