The Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways has launched the “One Nation One Port Process” (ONOP) framework to ensure uniformity in port processes across all ports in the country including Andhra Pradesh. The measures undertaken include aligning the ONOP framework to upgrade the National Logistics Portal – (Sagar Setu) for seamless electronic submission and processing of all ship-related information across all ports in the Country. It aims at complying with the International Conventions and integrates key stakeholders such as Port Authorities, Customs, Immigration, Port Health Organisations, Directorate General of Shipping on a unified platform. The implementation is expected to reduce 33% of the documentation leading to enhancing efficiency and reduction in cost and time.

This information was given by the Union Minister for Port Shipping and waterways in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
