Procedure to be followed in case conversions / reversions of vessels from Foreign to Coastal and vice versa

Vessel conversion procedure: provisional conversion on boarding subject to completing formalities within two working days.

Provisional conversion of vessels between Foreign Run and Coastal Run shall be granted immediately by the Superintendent/Boarding Office on boarding or arrival, subject to an undertaking that filing of the Bill of Entry, assessment finalisation and payment of duty will be completed within two working days; inventorisation of provisions and bunker must be done simultaneously. After assessment and duty payment, an application to DC/P (G) is required; PSO/Admn. will verify alerts and may issue an NOC before final conversion is granted.
