Amendment: 2 (Appendix 15 of DCA– RFP Vol – III)
Appendix 15 of DCA is replaced as follows:
Performance Standards
1. Gross Berth Output
The parameter deals with the productivity of the terminal (Gross Berth Output) for different
types of cargo. In case of dry and break-bulk cargo, the capability of the terminal
(mechanization, method of handling) and parcel size will determine the Gross Berth Output.
Higher terminal capability and greater parcel size will lead to high productivity.
The Gross Berth Output shall be calculated as the total cargo handled (either
loaded/unloaded) from the ship during a month divided by the time spent by the ship at
the terminal number of working days of ships in that month at that terminal. While
determining the number of working days from the ship hours, the berth allowance of 4
hours/day shall be subtracted from the total hours.
In the case of containers the crane rate shall be measured by dividing total number of
TEUs lifted on/off from ships by the elapsed crane time. The elapsed crane time is the
total allocated crane hours less operational and non-operational delays.
The indicative norms for Gross Berth Output for different categories of Clean cargo to be
handled at this berth are as follows:
Cargo Category
Indicative Norms
Container
Gross Berth Output
25 Moves / Crane / hour
Mixed Dry bulk cargo
Iron & Steel products
4000 T/Day
Aluminum Ingots
4000 T/day
Pig Iron
4505 T/Day
Finished Fertilisers
10000 T/day
Food Grains
10000 T/Day
Sugar
7500 T/Day
Weightage in case of a shortfall in meeting the prescribed performance standard will
be 80%.
2. Transit Storage Dwell Time:
(a) Containers:
The Transit Storage Dwell Time for a container shall mean the total time for which the
container remains in the terminal. The Transit Storage Dwell Time for containers shall
be calculated as an average and shall be the sum of the transit storage of each
container handled during the month at that terminal divided by the number of
containers. To further clarify, the date and time a container is discharged from the
vessel till the said container leaves the out - gate of the Terminal, is the total transit
storage time for import box. In case of export the time and date from which the
container enters the terminal till the time and date it is loaded on to a vessel will be
the storage time. The details of time of discharge, gate-in, gate-out and loading need
to be maintained in respect of each container including ICD containers.
Unclaimed cargo or any cargo that has been detained by the customs or any
Government Authority may be excluded.
(c) Break-bulk cargo:
The Transit Storage Dwell Time of Break Bulk cargo shall be calculated in the same
manner as calculated for container in the terminal. The Transit Storage Dwell Time for
Break Bulk Cargo is the sum of time of each unit of cargo that remains in the Port in a
month divided by the number of cargo units handled during that month in the
terminal. To further clarify, the time the break bulk cargo remains in the port will
commence from the date and time of landing till the date and time of exit from the
Port in case of import and for export from the date and time the cargo entered the
Port area till the date and time of the shipment.

Weightage in case of a shortfall in meeting the prescribed performance
standard is 10%
3.
Turn around Time for receipt/delivery operation:
The Turn around Time for receipt/delivery operation shall be the sum of time taken for
loading/unloading of cargo divided by the number of trucks/trailers/rakes deployed, as
the case may be, in a month. Further, in case the truck/trailer/rake does both unloading
and loading operations on a single entry into the terminal, the time allocated shall be
doubled for those trucks/trailers/rakes.

Performance Evaluation and calculation of liquidated damages:
Performance evaluation shall be made on a quarterly review of the reports furnished by
the Concessionaire and/or the records of the Concessionaire and/or by an enquiry by the
Concessioning Authority. The Concessionaire shall be liable to pay liquidated damages
determined at the rate of 1% (one per cent) of the Gross Revenue of the respective
quarter for every shortfall of 10% (ten per cent) in the average performance which shall
be assessed in the following manner.
Each Performance Standard is calculated as an average in the manner indicated above. The
actual average performance vis-à-vis a standard will be evaluated against the prescribed
standard. The shortfall will be computed as a percentage of the prescribed standard. The
shortfall in respect of each performance standard will have a weightage assigned to it. The
overall shortfall in average performance shall be assessed as the aggregate of the weighted
shortfalls in respect of each of the performance standards. For example, if there is a
shortfall in Gross Berth Output by x%, Transit Storage Dwell Time by y% and Turn round
time for receipt/delivery operations by z% and the weightage assigned to such shortfalls is
0.7, 0.2 and 0.1 respectively, then the overall shortfall in average performance will be ( 0.7x
+ 0.2 y + 0.1 z)%.
