The container
terminal –PSA SICAL terminals limited, one of the oldest PPP projects in India,
has made immense contributions to the trade and society in Thoothukudi.
It was PSA SICAL, who brought Thoothukudi on the world map of
container ports.
However, it’s
unfortunate that a notice of termination was served to shut it off, L Anand
Morais, president, Tuticorin Ship Agents Association, said on Sunday 6 Feb.
The TSAA has requested Port authorities to
consider a comprehensive relook at the royalty liabilities.
Fortunately, the
government has formed a special committee to look into such cases, he said.

Agents’ Association (TSAA) was established with the main motive to support
