    and one Tally Clerk and the average stuffing/destuffing charge is
    Rs.375.00 per TEU.
    2. Exclusive Container Freight Station for Export cargo has
    commissioned recently with "ON WHEEL" loading facilities and
    LCL shippers can advantage of this.
    3. Exclusive Container Freight Station to handle import LCL
    containers.
    4. Terminal handling charges at Chennai Port Container Terminal is
    Rs. 1415.00 for 20 containers and Rs. 2125.00 for 40 containers. The
    handling charges are the lowest among the Indian ports.
    5. ICD boxes are handled totally by Container Corporation of India
    who receive incoming export loads from various ICD's in plot
    allotted inside the port. The boxes are moved by their own tractor
    trailers to the terminal for shipment. Similarly, import boxes brought
    by the common feeder vessels are moved from the terminal to their
    own yard, dedicated trains are moved out of the port to the respective
    IDC's.
    6. The Chennai port is well connected with inland container depots at
    Coimbatore, Bangalore, Guntur, Anaparti, Hyderabad and New
    Delhi. Weekly dedicated trains run on nominated days from Chennai
    Port to IDC's.
    7. Under the Long Term Berth Reservation Scheme introduced in
    Chennai Port, feeder vessels in the Chennai-Singapore sector are now
    available with fixed day schedule viz. on Wednesdays and Sundays.
    This enables the exporters to plan export containers for those
    dedicated vessels which would in turn reach Singapore in time to
    connect to the mainline vessels.
