India’s maritime sector is at a turning point. The question is no longer whether to digitalise or whether to invest in sustainability, but how to integrate both to build smarter, more resilient supply chains. When digital tools and sustainable practices work together and enable actionable decision-making, they create real impact across reliability, efficiency and environmental performance.
At Kuehne+Nagel, this convergence is already transforming the way we design and manage logistics. Our myKN platform combines quotations, bookings and real-time tracking into a single view, offering customers the visibility they need to plan with confidence. Linked with seaexplorer, it provides access to more than 150,000 port pairs worldwide, enabling comparisons of service reliability, congestion patterns, and transit times at speed.
Where digitalisation meets sustainability is where the real step change happens. seaexplorer does not simply map out routes; it calculates the expected emissions of each option. This enables shippers to balance speed, cost, and environmental footprint in a single decision. Routes using cleaner fuel types or more efficient vessels are easy to identify, while disruption alerts on port delays or weather events allow quick adjustments that prevent unnecessary emissions and costs.
The future of India’s maritime industry will be defined by its ability to align digitalisation with sustainability. This is not a parallel journey but a shared path that strengthens competitiveness, supports trade flows and accelerates the transition to a more efficient and responsible economy. By viewing digitalisation and sustainability as interconnected, the sector can build truly future-ready solutions.
