Infrastructure19624 sections

This law amends the Indian Ports Act of 1908 specifically for the state of Maharashtra. It changes rules regarding pilot staffing, giving the state government the power to decide the exact number of pilots required. It also allows the government to temporarily suspend or modify port rules for specific locations if necessary. The act repeals a previous ordinance and applies to ports like Ratnagiri and Vijaydurg, as well as others under the original 1908 law. It provides the state with greater flexibility to manage port operations and safety.
