  • Clarifications on SCMTR Registration Related Issues
    Date: Feb 05th, 2021 Advisory No: 08/2021 Category: SCMTR Issued by: DGoS, ICES Subject : Clarifications on SCMTR Registration related issues Kind reference is invited to various Advisories and FAQs issued by this Directorate from time to time clarifying therein various aspects (including Registration) of Sea Cargo Manifest and Transshipment Regulations (SCMTR) related messages required to be filed in system by various stakeholders. Based on the queries received from various stakeholders and field formations, various clarifications are being provided herewith. 1. ANC (Authorized other Notified Sea Carriers): i. Registration for Customs Brokers also working as carriers: While there is no need for separate registration for Customs Brokers under SCMTR, many such entities are also engaged as freight warders, console agents etc. and therefore would require registration as ANC. The ANC registration has therefore been made available for entities having ICEGATE login as Customs Brokers. CBs, if also acting as other notified sea carriers as per the Regulations, may register under this category under the SCMTR. ii. Decrease in amount of Bank Guarantee along with surety bond: In terms of amended Board Notification No. 94/2020 (N.T.) dated 30.09.2020, the guarantee amount for Surety Bond required for ANC registration has been reduced to Rupees five lakhs from the earlier ten lakhs requirement in the System. Further, as stipulated in the aforesaid notification, the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) and Customs Broker licensed under the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2018 are exempted from the requirement of bank guarantee. 2. ATP (Authorized Transhipper): i. Registration: It is noticed that although the registration under the category of Authorised Custodian (ACU) has been completed by many Custodians, the registration as Authorized Transhipper (ATP) registration is relatively less.

  • Ports of Genoa @ Fruit Logistica 2020
    PORTS OF GENOA @ FRUIT LOGISTICA 2020 AN EXTENSIVE LINER SERVICE NETWORK ACROSS THE WORLD With over 150 deep-sea, short-sea, feeder and ro/ro liner services, the Ports of Genoa are connected to over 500 ports worldwide. The port basins offer direct access to the open sea, natural deepwater, minimal tidal range, favourable marine conditions: everything is in place to accommodate safely the ultra-large ships of the container, bulk and passenger handling sectors. EFFICIENT LAND-SEA CONNECTIONS The Ports of Genoa benefit from a strategic position with easy access to/from the major inland routes, both by road across the international motorway network and by rail to major industrial destinations, including direct on-terminal connections along the Rhine-Alpine Corridor, with capacity upgrades due to be completed soon. In addition, the Port Authority is committed to an intensive use and expansion of its Port Community System to ensure the smooth exchange of electronic documents, amongst all parties concerned in the logistics supply chain, to reduce dwelling and transit times in the ports. ONE OF THE MED’S TOP PASSENGER PORTS The ports also rank amongst the Mediterranean’s leading passenger hubs: homeport to the world’s major cruise liners, transit ports featuring a wide selection of attractive destinations along the glamorous Italian Riviera, state-of-the-art ferry terminals with scheduled services to the major Italian islands, Sardinia and Sicily, to Corsica, Spain, Malta and North Africa. Every year over 4,5 million passengers choose the Ports of Genoa, Savona and Vado as embarkation points for their holidays.

  • An Overview on Railway Impacts on Coastal Environment and Beach Tourism in Sicily (Italy)
    sustainability Article An Overview on Railway Impacts on Coastal Environment and Beach Tourism in Sicily (Italy) Irene Cinelli 1, Giorgio Anfuso 2,* , Sandro Privitera 3 and Enzo Pranzini 1 1 Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università di Firenze, Via Micheli 6, 50121 Firenze, Italy; [email protected] (I.C.); enzo.pranzini@unifi.it (E.P.) 2 Departamento de Ciencias de la Tierra, Facultad de Ciencias del Mar y Ambientales, Universidad de Cádiz, Polígono Río San Pedro s/n, 11510 Puerto Real, Spain 3 Centre for the Conservation and Management of Nature and Agroecosystems, University of Catania, CUTGANA, Via Santa Sofia 98, 95123 Catania, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to analyze the development of the railway network in Sicily (Italy), where it runs close to the sea on two of the three sides of the island, and give an overview of the related impacts on coastal environment and tourism. In order to achieve such an objective, the impacts of the railway network were analyzed according to coastal typology (distinguishing between rocky and sandy coastal sectors) and distance from the shoreline (dividing distance values in concrete intervals). Rails were mostly emplaced in flat coastal areas due to the island’s rugged terrain: out of 1592 km of railway, ca. 350 km is located less than 1000 m from the shoreline (123 km on rocky sectors and 227 km on beaches and coastal plains). On sandy beaches and low sandy coastal sectors, approximately 6 km of track is within 25 m from the shoreline, a value rising to 16 km if a 50 m distance is considered, 48 km at 100 m and 103 km at 200 m distance.
