The Directorate has forwarded a circular No. ENG/MISC-29(32)/2003 dated
15.10.2004 enclosing therewith
MEPC
Circular No. 349 along with its annex on the subject:
'Revised consolidated format for reporting alleged inadequacy of port
reception facilities' to Chairman of all major ports in India, Indian
Shipowners Association (INSA) and subordinate offices of this Directorate
requesting to disseminate the revised format to Masters of all ships
calling at Indian ports and also to forward the reports received from
ships to this Directorate with their comments. However, no report has been
received so far. The Directorate feels that some shipowners, ship
operators and Masters of the ships are not fully aware of such reporting
system.
With a view
to bring to the notice of all concerned, the above referred MEPC circular
along with its annex is attached. Master of all ships are encouraged to
use the format to report any alleged inadequacy of port reception
facilities to the nearest office of the Mercantile Marine Department for
further necessary action.
This issues
with the approval of Chief Surveyor with the Government of India.
Yours faithfully,
