With the changing dynamics of global trade and the development of P3 as well as the G6 and now the CKYHE alliances, new maritime hubs are likely to emerge in Asian region. Apart from the size of trade, superior infrastructure, ability to handle large ships and competitive tariffs will be the key success factors of any hub.

As the year 2013 draws to an end and the year 2014 begins, maritime industry is looking forward to a New Year that can bring in some positive changes. The mood is optimistic as the industry feels the greenshoots of developments in the previous year may lead to ?fruitful? days ahead.
