Major Functions of Dryports
• Enhance Export and Import of Cargo• Stuffing /de-stuffing of containers• Warehousing• Temporary storage of cargo and containers• Computerized processing of documents with
capability of being linked to Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
• Customs clearance• Transit operations by rail/road to and from
serving ports21
Future Dryports• Under Construction:
- Tatopani ICD - Source: PR China (Turn Key) - Connectivity: Asian Highway 42 (AH42 )
(Construction period is extended due to earthquake)
• Proposed:– Rasuwa: (Assistance : PR China)
- Detail Design is about to finalize.- Construction contract will be awarded soon.
– CFS/ICD at Kathmandu Valley (Assistance: WB) : - Awaiting for Construction Tender Process.
– Korola (Mustang):- Pre-feasibility study has been completed.
– Dodhara Chadani (Kanchanpur)- AH2:- Feasibility study is ongoing.

• Trade Facilitation28
Status of Intergovernmental Agreement on Dry ports
Nepal
29
Signatory Approval/ Acceptance/ Accession/ Ratification
7 November 2013 Not yet
Challenges• Geological status of Roads and
Infrastructure• International Recognition of Dry ports• Transshipment facility and additional Port
Connectivity• International Guidelines for leasing out of
ports• Road carriage act and Regulation• Rail carriage act and regulation • Dry Port Management issues
(Managerial/Technical/Awareness)• Reduction in Import/Export Process 30
Way Forward:
• Cost of logistics and transit transportation forlandlocked countries is > 15% than coastal countries
• UNESCAP needs to address capacity buildingactivities for managerial, technical and awarenessissues regarding dry port taking in mind of itsimportance
• Should conduct national level activities also
• International agency should focus on bringing outguidelines related to transshipment, port leasing,Registration of LOCODE, Locate dry port on theinternational shipping map, etc.
• Ratification of Intergovernmental Agreement on Dryports
