Empty container repositioning will continue to plague the Indian maritime sector without innovations both from the industry and the government
Empty container repositioning will continue to plague the Indian maritime sector without innovations both from the industry and the government
When the UPA government unveiled a detailed document in 2010 laying out a timetable for several operational milestones, whispers were agog about the impracticality of this white paper. Five years later, there is greater disapproval about the agenda becoming a reality. The Maritime Agenda undid itself right from the start
Demand for coal is increasing rapidly, but the corresponding improvement in transport infrastructure to facilitate quick movement of the fuel to consumption points is yet to catch up
Driven by industrialization and rising literacy levels, the Indian paper and paper boards industry bears the promise and the capability to cater to the growing domestic demand simultaneously creating multi fold benefits to the environment, in the employment and forex segments. However, the value chain needs to be encouraged by the government and logistics bottlenecks have to be sawed down for the industry to flourish.
Port led development should be the guiding motive of states that are encouraging new industries coming up on the east coast.
With 2015 touted to be the year of revival for world shipping, 2014 can be bid a enthusiastic farewell having experienced a fair amount of smiles and sighs. Shaping of new alliances, big ships and a more stable demand situation are three things the industry can look forward to.
With the ?click & shop? model gaining momentum in India, more and more shoppers are taking the online route to purchase a range of products starting from grocery, apparels, electronics, to furniture. The e-commerce logistics in India suffers with several bottlenecks including inadequate infrastructure and delivery inefficiencies that result in delay in delivery, choked airports, and products getting misplaced among others.
After conquering space with the Mars Orbiter Mission, India attempts to conquer the seas with the proposed Sagar Mala project. After a ten year downtime, the project has been revived and driven with much gusto by the Ministry of Shipping. If the current momentum of work is anything to go by, in ten years India would have created its piece de resistance silencing naysayers and altering forever the way India does business with the world.
It was an evening where the famous and the familiar working at the sea and the shore came together to celebrate each other?s strengths. The Gateway Awards 2014 was organised to recognise, cherish and honour the contribution of men and their machines to sea trade
