Table 3-3 Container Handling Volume at Chennai Port
The container handling volume at DPW (CCT) has been increasing recently, reaching 861 thousand
TEUs in 2015, an increase of 7.2% compared to the previous year. However, the container handling volume
fell sharply by 23% in April and 27% in May compared to the same months of the previous year.
The container handling volume at PSA fell to 667 thousand TEUs in 2015 compared to 724 thousand
TEUs in 2014, a decrease of 7.7%. However, it significantly increased during the period from February to
May 2015 compared to the same period last year. It was 69 thousand TEUs in April this year compared to
66 thousand TEUs in April last year, an increase of 5% and was 64 thousand TEUs in May this year
compared to 54 thousand in May last year, an increase of 19%.
These fluctuations in the container handling volume of each terminal seem to be a result of the
competition between the two terminals or re-arrangement of vessel services as the total handling volumes
have not changed much during these periods.

Figure 3-1 Number of vessels whose loading container can be received in container yard
(from 27 January to 16 February 2016)
Maximum number of vessels whose loading container can be received in container yard was 11 vessels
while the minimum number was 5. Many vessels arrive on Tuesday (10 vessels on average) and fewer
vessels on Thursday (1vessel on average). DPW terminal accepts around 5 vessels from Friday to next
Monday, around 3 vessels on Wednesday and Thursday. On the other hand, PSA terminal accepts around 6
vessels on Tuesday and around 1 vessel on Friday and Sunday. The transition of the vessel number per
every half day during the 2nd dispatch is shown in the Figure below.
Figure 3-2 Number of the permitted vessels to receive export containers
(from 30 September to 23 October 2014)
Many vessels arrive on Wednesday (11 vessels on average) and fewer vessels on Monday (7 vessels on
average). DPW terminal accepts around 6 vessels on Wednesday and around 3 vessels on Monday. On the
other hand PSA terminal accepts around 6 vessels on Saturday and around 4 vessels on Sunday and
Monday. There are some differences in the tendency of the number of vessels between the 2nd dispatch and
7th dispatch.
The Team studied the details of the changes in container vessels calling at two terminals during the 8th
dispatch as below.

and so on. The demonstration trials may have also motivated stakeholders to make efforts to reduce
congestion. For example, ChPT started to implement measures to ease congestion in cooperation with the
private sector while the State of Tamil Nadu improved the access road through road expansion works.
In this way the traffic congestion outside the Port has been largely alleviated. It seems that the measures
conducted by ChPT and the Team are working well and have been well-received by the stakeholders.
In addition, from the 1st to 8th dispatch, there were typically longer queues of trailers at the middle of
the week or on the weekend and smaller queues at the beginning of the week (Monday).
The results of the surveys on the degree of traffic congestion outside Chennai Port are shown from
Figure 3-3 to Figure 3-8 below (red color indicates queues of more than 30 trailers and orange color
indicates queues less than 30 trailers).
The queuing trailers inside the port starts from either DPW IN Gate, PSA IN Gate, or Port Gate No.1
(Exit). The queue starting from DPW IN Gate frequently occured during a period from the 3rd dispatch to
the 7th dispatch, but congestion was significantly reduced during the 8th dispatch.
On the other hand, the queues starting from PSA IN Gate continually occurred during the period from the
3rd dispatch to the 7th dispatch and it occurred even more frequently during the 8th dispatch. This was
considered to be due to the increase of container handling volume at PSA. The Team observed that the
queue, which extended almost to the DPW OUT Gate, obstructed the other traffic flow.
The heavy congestion starting from Port Gate No.1 (Exit) has not occurred since procedures by Customs
and CISF at Port Gate No.1 were simplified during the 5th dispatch. The enhancement of Port Gate No.1
during the 8th dispatch helped alleviate the congestion as well.

iii) Parking Place and Reason for Waiting
The Team interviewed trailer drivers of waiting container vehicles on 4 October 2014 from 8:00 to
10:00, on 18 October 2014 from 16:00 to 18:00, and on 19 October 2014 from 8:00 to 10:00.

Figure 3-14 Parking Place
1st (4/Oct, 2014) 2nd (18/Oct, 2014)
Figure 3-15 Reason for Waiting
Many drivers parked their container vehicles near container terminals and around the Hospital Gate.
Furthermore, it was observed that many trailers were parked along the peripheral road towards Port
Gate No.1 (OUT).
In the 1st dispatch, 45% of surveyed drivers were waiting for instructions from their companies
while that figure rose to 95% in the 2nd dispatch.
In addition, the Team continued to conduct the survey on parked trailers because the demonstration
trial for the restriction of parked trailers was conducted during the 3rd dispatch. The details of the
demonstration trial are described in 3.4 (4).

b. Survey on Traffic Congestion
The Team conducted a survey on the number of queuing trailers inside the Port for 24 hours every two
hours from 27 October to 3 November 2014. The results classified by time and place are as follows:
Figure 3-16 Trailers in Queue inside the Port Inward (27/Oct/2014 – 3/Nov/2014)
The number of incoming queues from Port Gate No.1 (IN) to the DPW terminal was 77 on average
and that from the DPW terminal to PSA was 69 on average. The former (the blue bar in Figure 3-16)
was approximately 50 at all times. On the other hand, the latter (the red bar in Figure 3-16) was
occasionally more than 200 and it fluctuated by day of the week or time zone.

Figure 3-17 Trailers in Queue inside the Port Outward (27/Oct/2014 – 3/Nov/2014)
The number of outgoing queues from the PSA terminal to the intersection was 125 on average and that
from the intersection to Port Gate No.1 (OUT) was 143 on average. The number of outgoing queues in
front of the X-Ray Scanning Center was less than 50. The number of outgoing queues from the PSA
terminal to Port Gate No.10 (OUT) was around 100 from midnight to 6 AM.
c. Study on the Flow of Trailers using Monitoring Camera at Terminal IN Gate
The Team monitored incoming trailers to container terminal gates continuously by setting a fixed
point camera around IN Gates of both DPW and PSA terminals during the 6th and 7th dispatch. The
monitoring was conducted in order to grasp the trailer flow and operational status of the terminal gates
on a 24 hour basis. The Team identified factors preventing efficient gate operation such as the
suspension of the gate reception, stoppage of trailer flow by parked trailers, etc. The details are
described in 3.7 (4).
d. Survey on Gate Processing Efficiency
The Team conducted site observation on the operational status of container inspection, document
check procedure, etc. in front of terminal IN Gates in addition to the observation by fixed point camera
during the 6th and 7th dispatch.

Figure 3-35 Results of Simulation (Current Situation)
Traffic congestion occurred at Port Gate No.1 (IN, OUT) and in front of the PSA terminal entrance. Total
waiting time for traffic congestion and gate procedure time was 4.3 hours on average.
2) Demo1
Figure 3-36 Results of Simulation (Demo1)
Although the traffic queue did not occur at Port Gate No.1 (IN), vehicles remained inside the Port a long
time. Total waiting time was 3.2 hours on average (1.1 hours less than the current situation).
Project of Improvement of Chennai Port Operation Final Report

3) Demo3,4
Figure 3-37 Results of Simulation (Demo3, 4)
Although traffic congestion cleared up along the Periphery Road and the intersection, vehicles waited a
long time at Port Gate No.1(IN, OUT). Total waiting time was 3.8 hours on average (0.5 hours less than the
current situation).
4) Demo1, 3, 4
Figure 3-38 Results of Simulation (Demo1, 3, 4)
In the case of conducting Demo1, 3 and 4 at the same time, trailers entered Port Gate No.1 smoothly and
the traffic congestion inside the Port was reduced. However, traffic congestion occurred at the Customs
Gate in front of Port Gate No.1 (OUT). Total waiting time was 3.1 hours on average (1.2 hours less than the
current situation).

Project of Improvement of Chennai Port Operation Final Report
51
In the 3rd dispatch, based on the Marine Agenda 2010-2020 prepared by the Shipping Ministry, the Team
examined cargo demand, port capacity, major projects, and accessibility to the hinterland of the Chennai
Port. The team also conducted an analysis on congestion and proposed some solutions.
In the 4th dispatch, the Team examined the Business Plan for Chennai Port Trust which was published in
2008 and has served as the Master Plan of Chennai Port.
However, circumstances surrounding Chennai Port have considerably changed since the above plan was
published. For example competitive container ports (Ennore Port, Kattupalli Port) have emerged and coal
and iron ore are no longer handled at Chennai Port. Accordingly, the Business Plan, including a master plan
for infrastructure development, may need to be updated. The Team proposed that an advisory study be
conducted on basic policy for the master plan of infrastructure development, including improvement of
internal roads (widening, pavement, lane regulation, etc.)
In the 5th dispatch, the progress of the business plan was examined. A PPP scheme for infrastructure
development of the mega terminal could not be successfully introduced. As a result, ChPT is attempting to
construct the breakwater and channel using public funds. The Team also obtained information concerning
the utilization plan of the railway and widening of SH 114.
In the 6th dispatch, the land use inside Chennai port, Ennore port, and Kattuppali Port, as well as the
inland depot of the railway in Tondiapet, 5km away from the port, were examined. The Team also
exchanged the views on the direction of the study of the master plan and confirmed important issues related
to the study.
In the 7th dispatch, the current land use plan inside the port, and the situation of the roads and railways
were confirmed. Workshops were held twice in which important issues related to the master plan study
were discussed and projects that will enhance the efficiency of the port were proposed.
The main points discussed at the workshops were as follows.
1) Meeting the cargo demand and role-sharing among ports
2) Coping with the increasing size of container ships
3) Development of roads and waiting areas for trailers.
4) More utilization of IT, i.e. information service to the drivers via Internet
5) Better Connection to the hinterland of the port
6) Promotion of railway use
7) Review of land use
8) Environmental improvement and sustainable development

one on terminal arrival are recorded automatically according to the following procedure
i) RFID Tags will be placed on the front doors of all trailers. Trailer information such as trailer ID, its
owner, etc. are contained in the tag. RFID tags are purchased by transportation operators.
ii) In case of export container, when a trailer depart from CFS;
- RFID reader at CFS entrance/exit reads the trailer information from RFID tag and registers them in
CFS server.
- A camera at CFS entrance/exit takes a picture of the truck driver and registers it in CFS server.
- A CFS clerk manually enters the number of container. Then, the container information is linked with
the trailer information in CFS server and the linked information is transferred to terminal server
through NACFS server.
iii) When the trailer arrives at a terminal, RFID reader at a terminal entrance reads the trailer information
and retrieve the container information and the photograph of the truck driver. The information is, then,
shown on a display at terminal gate.
iv) In case of import containers, the procedure is just the other way around.
b. System 2
The reception procedure of a trailer at Port Gate No.1 is speeded up and Port entry/exit information for a
trailer is recorded automatically according to the following procedures. Harbor Entry Permit (HEP) can be
eliminated for trailers.
i) By applying RFID tag used in the system 1, the entrance and exit of a trailer from Port Gate No.1 is
recorded automatically.
ii) On arrival of a trailer at Port Gate No.1 from outside the Port;
- RFID reader at Port Gate No.1 reads the trailer information from RFID tag and register them in ChPT
server.
- A camera at Port Gate No.1 takes a photo of trailer number and shows it together with the trailer
information on a display in a gate booth.
iii) In case of outbound trailers, the procedure is similar to the above.
c. System 3
The reception procedure of a personnel at Port Gate No.1 is speeded up and the Port entry/exit
information for a personnel is recorded automatically according to the following procedures. Harbor Entry
Permit (HEP) will be replaced by RFID card.
i) A trailer driver and his assistants wear the RFID card around the neck. The personnel information
such as driving license number, photo, etc is contained on the RFID card.
ii) On arrival of a trailer at Port Gate No.1 from outside, RFID reader reads the personnel information
from RFID car. The system registers the personnel information in ChPT server and shows them on a
display in a gate booth.

3) Introduction of a Sticker for a Container Trailer
As trailer drivers who do not carry the proper documents are one of the causes of traffic congestion, a trial
was conducted with the cooperation of the private sector in which stickers were attached to trailers when
drivers possessed the proper documents. This was a good initiative which demonstrated the willingness on
the part of the private sector to cooperate in congestion alleviation measures.However, the sticker system
was soon discontinued due to management problems.
4) Simulation Model Analysis for Traffic Congestion
The Study Team developed a traffic simulation model and showed the qualitative effect of measures for
decongestion in the S/C. It is hoped that ChPT and stakeholders will continue efforts to alleviate the
congestion.
5) Effective Utilization of TVT Parking ( Demonstration Trial )
HEP (Harbor entry permit) was issued to trailer drivers at the TVT Parking located along State Highway
114, about 5km north from Port Gate No.1. Utilizing this parking space, required documents for drivers
were pre-checked as a demonstration trial. The area was also used as a waiting space for trailers to
discourage drivers from parking trailers along the road while waiting to enter the port.
6) No Parking along internal Roads and Establishment of Waiting Area(Demonstration Trial)
Parking along internal roads encumbers trailers as they move. Parking has been banned at some road
sections and a waiting area has been set up for trailers to wait inside Chennai Port.
7) Allocation of Traffic Officers (Demonstration Trial)
Congestion at the intersection in Chennai Port was so serious that traffic control was becoming
increasingly necessary. Therefore, traffic officers were allocated at key intersections to give instructions to
drivers inside the port.
8) Additional Gate for empty container trailers at DPW terminal
An additional terminal gate for empty container trailers was set up at the area of the DPW terminal which
used to be for the handling of iron ore. It has streamlined the traffic flow inside Chennai Port and
contributed to alleviating traffic congestion.
9) Pre-Document Check prior to Port entry (Task Force Activity)
Task Force Team was formed at the initiative of Chennai Port Trust to combat traffic congestion. It
consists of ChPT, Terminal Operators and CFS association etc. Before entry to the port, trailer drivers are
subject to a document check by the Task Force. They are not allowed to enter the port until they show the
proper documents.
Project of Improvement of Chennai Port Operation Final Report
63
10) Promoting Traffic Discipline among Drivers (Task Force Activity)
As one of activities of the Task Force Team, trailer drivers are instructed to keep proper intervals by traffic
officer while forming a line on the road toward Port Gate No.1. The officer patrols the road on a motorbike.
Traffic discipline of drivers is expected to be improved and traffic congestion decreased.
11) Survey of Terminal Gate Operation
With the cooperation of the DPW terminal, the movement of container trailers passing through the
terminal gate was recorded by a camera set up at the entrance in order to grasp the efficiencty of gate
processing. This survey was useful for analyzing the causes of congestion related to the terminal gate and
suggesting measures for alleviation.
12) Incoming Traffic throughput Analysis
The Team analyzed the processing capacity of Port Gate No.1, terminal gates and terminal yards in order
to identify bottlenecks and proposed measures for upgrading the processing capacity to attain the target at
each gate and yard.
13) Continuous Traffic Congestion Survey
The Team conducted a traffic congestion survey outside/inside Chennai Port during every dispatch. The
survey results were utilized to grasp the present situation and examine the outcome of efforts to alleviate
traffic congestion and so on. Findings were fed back to the study activity on improvement of Chennai Port
Operation.
14) Technical Seminar for staff of Chennai Port Trust and CISF
Technical Seminars were held for staff of ChPT and CISF by the Team when the bar-code reading system
was introduced as a demonstration trial. Trainees could learn how to use the bar-code reading system in the
seminar.
15) Introduction of Bar-code Reading System ( Demonstration Trial)
As part of modernization of access control procedures for trailers using IT, the Bar-code reading system
was introduced at the Port Gate No.1.
16) Introduction of Web Portal System ( demonstration Trial)
As one of the demonstration trials to alleviate traffic congestion using IT, Web Portal System has been
established to provide congestion information. Everyone can access the information on the number of
trailers passing through the Port Gate No.1 on an hourly basis using the website of ChPT.
Project of Improvement of Chennai Port Operation Final Report
64
17) Introduction of RFID System
ChPT has a plan to introduce an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) System to attach IC tags to
trailers with the cooperation of related organizations. The system aim to increase the efficiency of cargo
handling management and gate processing by sharing information among ChPT, CFS and terminal
operators etc.
18) Widening and improvement of roads in Chennai Port
The widening and improvement of internal roads have been carried out inside Chennai Port to alleviate
traffic congestion. In addition, the traffic flow has been clearly separated.
19) Expansion of Port Gate No.1
Port Gate No.1 is the only gate for container trailers to enter and exit Chennai Port, but the lane capacity
was insufficient to cope with the number of waiting trailers. Accordingly, ChPT expanded Port Gate No.1
from 4 to 8 lanes.
20) Widening and Improvement of State Highway 114
State highway 114 is the only road connecting to the Port Gate. Widening and improvement works of
Highway 114 are ongoing in order to provide a dedicated lane for container trailers.
21) Development of Approach Road to Port Gate No.1
Insufficient road infrastructure is also one of the causes of traffic congestion. The approach road to Port
Gate No.1 has been widened and improved to improve the traffic flow of trailers.
22) Study on Direction of the Master Plan
The workshop on the master plan was held in ChPT. The Team discussed the direction of the master plan
and stressed the importance of infrastructure projects as well as the need to further alleviate traffic
congestion.
23) Strengthening of Partnership with Tamil Nadu GovernmentChPT invited officials of the Tami
Nadu Government to attend the S/C. Officers from Traffic Police and Road section of Tamil Nadu joined
the expanded S/C to assist with congestion alleviation efforts.
24) Activity Report of JICA Study
The Team prepared an activity report which details the current state of traffic congestion, analyzes
congestion trends, describes the efforts and outcome of measures to decrease congestion and all other study
activities undertaken at each dispatch. It is submitted to ChPT, JICA etc. ChPT will utilize the results of the
report to take further measures for decongestion.
The following tables show the decongestion measures proposed by the Team suggested which have been
taken inside/outside port and at the terminals. They are also classified by the causes and dispatch times

5) Allocation of Traffic Officers (Demonstration Trial 4)
Traffic officers continued to be allocated after the demonstration trial. Although just a single traffic
officer, security guard or a ChPT officer, was allocated at first, officers from multiple organization as a
task force team are allocated lately. The Team also observed that CISF officers were additionally
allocated during period of heavy congestion. However, traffic officers require training on traffic control
because instructions by traffic officers were sometimes ignored by trailer drivers.
6) Additional Gate for Empty Trailers at DPW Terminal
The implementation of the new DPW gate specialized for empty trailers in April 2015 was one of the
effective measures for the optimization of trailer flow. Separating the flow of empty trailers from that of
export container trailers has been effective because empty trailers often wait for job orders or proper
documents inside the Port.
However, the trailer flow has not been completely separated because empty trailers were still accepted
at the DPW IN Gate which was meant for export container trailers. This occurred because an empty trailer
could not exit from the entrance queue before entering into the DPW terminal once it reached to the DPW
terminal. Furthermore, the empty trailer flow and the export trailers flow sometimes crossed at the
intersection near the X-Ray inspection area after the implementation of the new gate. Further optimization
of the trailers flow can be achieved if these issues are addressed and the empty and export container flows
are completely separated.
7) Pre-Document Check Prior to Port Entry (Task Force Activity 1)
The pre-document check, which was conducted on the access road toward Port Gate No.1 during the 7th
dispatch, was one of the activities undertaken by the Task Force Team (which consists of ChPT, container
terminals, trucking companies, etc).
This document screening activity was similar to the one which used to be conducted at TVT-Parking in
2014. The document screening aims at removing parked trailers which are waiting for the proper
documents on the road. As the number of drivers carrying the proper documents actually increased for
export container, these screening activities have somewhat contributed to optimization of trailers flow
inside and outside the Port.
8) Promoting Traffic Discipline among Drivers (Task Force Activity 2)
The Team observed that traffic officers instructed trailer drivers to drive along a lane, keep proper
intervals, etc. during the 7th dispatch. The traffic officers were dispatched from trucking companies
organized by ChPT. Although, the Team had previously observed similar activities by the trailer union
and CFS association, it was the first attempt for ChPT to organize such a team by themselves. Thanks to
the instructions from officers, situation in which container trailers prevented general vehicles from
proceeding were avoided. Furthermore, together with the restrictions on trailers entering the city area
which have been enforced by the traffic police, the traffic flow along the State Highway 114 has greatly
improved. These activities definitely contribute to optimizing the traffic flow outside the Port.

C) Recommendation of Implementation Port Entry/Exit Control System -New Barcode Reading System and its Sustainable Operation System -
Recommendation on Implementing Port Entry/Exit Control System - New Barcode Reading System and its Sustainable Operation System –
1. Background
The barcode reading system was implemented in February, 2015 as one of the demonstration trials by the
JICA study team (the Team) and was in operation for about 6 months. The user, CISF, stopped using the
system in September due to several issues including barcode reading error and the tendency for PC/UPS to
stop after a few hours of consecutive operation. Computers and other related hardware will eventually need
repair/maintenance when operated for long periods of time but a department or organization that is
responsible for such support works has not been designated. The barcode reading error, which is probably
caused by a displacement of barcode on HEP, can only be avoided by periodically adjusting the alignment
of barcode printers which are used in ChPT pass section. The Team has observed that the real issue here is
not these failures, but the lack of an operation system to ensure continuous operation of the system by the
party concerned.
Therefore, the team recommended ChPT to set up a Working Group for sustaining the operation of the
Entry / Exit Control system. Running Rules of the Working Group are described below.
The Project on Improvement of Chennai Port Operation Final Report

Attached Document
Definition and details of the works to be conducted by the Working Group
1. Definition of the System Objectives
The objectives of the system are as follows.
1) Simplification of the document check procedure at Port Gate No.1
The operation to record the log of trailers’ entry and exit is done just by scanning the Harbor Entry
Permit (HEP), which is far simpler than making handwritten entries. Furthermore, gate lanes can be
increased using the minimum number of staffs because a single staff can operate the barcode reader for
multiple lanes.
2) Strict control on the entry and exit of container trailers at Port Gate No.1
The entry and exit of trailers are more strictly controlled and checked using the system. The system can
detect the illegal usage of HEP by drivers and trailers as the entry and exit record can be traced in the
system. The statistical data for the entry/exit of drivers and trailers is accumulated and can be utilized for
improving the Port Operation.
Note: When the RFID tag system is implemented, entry/exit of trailer is recorded automatically by the
system. However, the barcode reading system is still required until the RFID tag base HEP is
implemented.
2. Operation Procedure of the Entry / Exit Control system for Chennai Port
1) Periodical Adjustment of Barcode Printer Alignment
The alignment of barcode printers used in HEP issuance at ChPT pass section shall be adjusted
periodically (e.g. once every three month). Otherwise, many HEPs with misprinted barcode have been
already distributed widely when the misprinting is detected at Port Gate No.1. The adjustment shall be
done by EDP section.
2) Document Check Procedure at Port Gate No.1
HEP of drivers, trailers, and driver’s assistants are scanned at the Port Gate No.1 by CISF staff and their
entry and exit records are logged in the system. The software of the barcode reading system shall be
improved so that the hourly summary of trailers in/out is shown on the data entry screen. Furthermore,
modification function for the registered data shall be provided for a CISF supervisor.
3) Supporting System and Environment
The following supporting system for the operation shall be established.
a. To establish an Emergency Contact Plan among CISF, traffic department, EDP section, and pass
section in the event of serious trouble. CISF mainly uses this plan and calls EDP for system failure
including PC, UPS, power supply, network, and software. It may also be used to call the pass section
for any HEP authorization issues.
b. To setup a regular meeting among traffic department, pass section, EDP, and CISF to discuss
enhancement needs, changes in the environment, system maintenance, etc.
c. To provide the preliminary training course on the use of PC including virus protection, PC
The Project on Improvement of Chennai Port Operation Final Report

maintenance, etc. for CISF supervisor.
d. To provide a service so that the hardware / software engineers visit site periodically (e.g. once a
week)
4) Usage of information obtained by the Entry/Exit Control System
The information obtained by the barcode reading system can be used in a variety of ways. Some
examples are listed below.
a. To publish the real time and hourly summary of trailers passing through the Port Gate No.1 on the
ChPT Homepage.
b. To periodically generate the following warning reports
- Trailer and driver retention list
- Trailers with different drivers in entry and exit
- Drivers with different trailers in entry and exit
c. To prepare a statistic report on container trailer movement
3. Emergency Contact Plan
1) CISF at Port Gate No.1:
2) ChPT Traffic Department (Marketing):

4. System Expansion
1) Hardware
a. One set of PC/UPS/barcode reader shall be provided in every lane of Port Gate No.1. In total 9 lanes
will be available for entry/exit from Port Gate No.1
b. The same number of sets of PC/UPS/barcode reader as the above a. shall be provided as spare in
case of hardware failure. One of the spare sets can be used by the CISF supervisor for confirming the
data entry and data correction.
c. At least one set of PC/UPS/barcode reader shall be provided in every pass section office where the
HEP is issued. They are used to confirm the barcode is properly printed on the HEP.
2) Application Software
a. Date entry screen shall be modified according to the Appendix 1. This modification helps CISF staff
to generate the hourly summary of in/our trailers manually.
b. Data correction screen shall be provided in case CISF staff makes data entry error.
c. Daily summary screen which is identical to the existing hand prepared summary sheet shall be
provided.

D) Improvement of Synergy on Operation of Regulatory Authorities Concerned
Improvement of Synergy on the Operation of Regulatory Authorities Concerned
Rationale
Chennai Port Trust has been tackling traffic congestion issues for many years. The Team in
collaboration with ChPT has also introduced a variety of measures to alleviate traffic
congestion. Some of the measures have been effective for reducing traffic congestion.
However traffic congestion still exists inside and outside the Port and some measures are not
able to be implemented continuously. A lack of a sustainable system for implementing
measures continuously and a lack of coordination among stakeholders are the reasons for the
above.
Therefore, the establishment of a sustainable system is very important.
The Project on Improvement of Chennai Port Operation has a steering committee for the
purpose of discussing matters related to traffic congestion among stakeholders. The steering
committee plays a vital role for stakeholders to understand the project and share information
on traffic congestion.
After completion of this project, the steering committee might be disbanded.
Instead of the steering committee, a sustainable system that tackles congestion issues with the
collaboration of stakeholders needs to be established.
The Team strongly recommends the establishment of an enlarged steering committee for the
purpose of sustainable improvement on the operation of Chennai port.

E) TOR on Operation Rule for Trailer Entry Process at Terminal IN Gates
TOR on Operation Rule for Trailer Entry Process at Terminal IN Gates
1. Background The Team has identified instances of ‘Idling Time’ and ‘Suspension’ by observing the pictures taken using
the fixed point static camera and the site observation during the 6th and 7th dispatch. ‘Idling Time’ and
‘Suspension’ significantly reduce terminal gate efficiency. Furthermore, the Team has often observed many
parked trailers such as OOG trailers, empty trailers, etc. in front of the DPW terminal IN gate which also
lowers terminal gate efficiency.
2. Objective
Trailer entry process at the terminal IN gate shall be improved in order to alleviate traffic
congestion starting from that point. The proposed operation rules aim to reduce ‘Idling Time’
and ‘Suspension’ by eliminating parked and stopped cars in front of terminal IN gates and
improving the trailer flow. This TOR describes the operational rules and business flow using
the new operation rules.
3. Required Measures
The following measures shall be taken before starting the operation under the TOR (refer to
figure 1.).
(1) Road Improvements in front of the terminal IN gate
- To allocate space around the Survey Area, Customs Reception Area, and Gate Area by
removing curbs, etc.
- To implement an Exit Lane for trailers around the Survey Area
- To clearly indicate the No Parking Areas through the use of painted signs
- To allocate space in the Survey Area for 4 trailers to line up in 3 rows and mark the stop
lines on a road with paint
- To keep space for trailers to line up in 4 rows and mark the stop lines on a road with
paint
(2) Relocation of the Survey Area
The Survey Area shall be relocated about 130m forward.
(3) Full Time Allocation of Traffic Control Persons
One traffic control person around the No Parking Area and another traffic control person
around Customs Reception Area shall be allocated on a full time basis. They will be
responsible for ensuring that trailers drivers follow the operation rules.

persons, surveyors, and terminal gate clerks at all times.
(2) Trailer drivers shall proceed along the lane in order without keeping too much distance
from the other trailers. They shall not pass the other trailers or cut into queue without an
instruction from traffic control persons, etc.
(3) Empty trailers shall use the dedicated terminal gate (north gate for DPW and dedicated
lane for PSA). Terminal IN gates shall not accept empty trailers.
(4) Parking shall not be allowed along the access road to the terminal IN gate. Moreover,
parking shall be strictly prohibited between the Survey Area and Gate Area to ensure
sufficient space for trailer traffic.
(5) Trailers which are allowed to proceed following the container survey shall proceed to the
Customs Reception Area promptly. On the other hand, trailers which are not allowed to
proceed shall exit via the Exit Lane immediately. They shall remain at a waiting area until
everything is in order and then line up again.
(6) Documentation check by Customs is conducted after the survey is completed while a
trailer is parked in the Customs Reception Area. After its completion, trailers proceed to
the Gate Area for the reception procedure of a terminal. Trailers which do not clear the
documentation check by Customs must exit via the Exit Lane when instructed by a traffic
control person.
(7) OOG (Out Of Gauge) trailers which arrive prior to the CY-Open shall be allowed to wait
inside a terminal until the CY opens.
