Cochin Port Trust has sought the views of members of its Board of Trustees on a request from India Gateway Terminals Ltd (IGTL) to urgently consider a reduction in maritime charges and relaxation of the Cabotage Law to make the operations of the International Container Transhipment Terminal (ICTT), scheduled for commissioning in June, more competitive, reported The Hindu.

      Sources in the port said that IGTL had sought urgent action from the port authorities to help the proposed ICTT operate as a transhipment hub rather than as a feeder port for Colombo.
