A brief Discussion on Shipping industry

3. About 90% of world trade
is carried by the
international shipping industry.
Without shipping,
the import/export of
affordable food and goods
would not be possible
- half the world would starve
and the other half would freeze!

4. Shipping is regulated
globally by the
International
Maritime Organization
(IMO).

5. There are over 50,000 merchant ships
trading internationally,
transporting every kind of cargo.
The world fleet is registered in over
150 nations,
and manned by over a million
seafarers of virtually every
nationality.

6. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the United
Nations system’s regulatory agency for the maritime sector.
 Its global mandate is “Safe, secure and efficient shipping on
clean oceans”.
IMO’s rules and standards are accepted by Govt’s. and global
shipping industry

7. Driven in particular by a rise in China’s domestic
demand as well as increased intra- Asian and
South-South trade
 International seaborne trade performed better
than the world economy, with volumes increasing
at an estimated 4.3 per cent in 2012, nearly the same
rate as 2011.
 About 9.2 billion tons of goods were loaded in
ports worldwide, with tanker trade (crude oil,
petroleum products and gas)

22. INDIA HAS ACCESS TO TWO
MAJOR SHIPPING ROUTES
MORE THAN 7500 KM COASTLINE
INCLUDING THE ISLAND
TERRITORIES
WIDESPREAD PORTS

23. • Indian shipping companies having acquisitions with
foreign shipping companies
• More than USD $4bn is expected to be invested in
India's port sector.
• New major container terminals being developed at the
port of Chennai and Mumbai
• Cargo volumes are expected to grow with an average of
16.5% year on year in the coming 5-10 years

24. • The underinvestment in the India’s maritime
sector has affected the development of ports in
the country
• Inefficient judiciary system slow development
of new port infrastructure
• High levels of bureaucracy prevents the
government funding from developing new port
projects in the country
• Tax structure not allowing the Indian
manufacturers to be competitive <Think this is
an argument Indian exporters are using in
lobbying rather than being a fact>

25.  Major developments taking place in Sri
Lanka's port sector may reduce demand for
transshipment services at Southern Indian ports.
 A government tax on iron ore exports may lead
to a fall in bulk shipments at major export
terminals.
 India's ports have suffered from congestion
during 2011, potentially slowing the country's
growth trajectory

26. Vision 2020: Maritime Sector
•Estimated Traffic in all ports including non-major ports - 2495
MMT
•Total Capacity in major and non-major ports – 3130 MMT
•Total proposed Investments in major and non-major ports by
2020 – US $ 10.67 billion (Private investment- 95%)
•Shipping tonnage to increase to 43 million GT by 2020.
•Share of India in shipbuilding to increase to 5% of the world
market.
•Promote use of Inland Waterways.

27. A Vibrant Economy - Huge market with a billion plus
population and impressive GDP growth.
Ports play a vital role in overall economic
development. About 95% by volume and 70% by
value of the country’s international trade is through
maritime transport.
Aim is to navigate and steer the Indian maritime
sector realistically into the premier maritime nations.
