Vision of the Ministry of Shipping

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 countrys
international trade is through maritime transport.
Aim is to navigate and steer the Indian maritime sector
realistically into the premier maritime nations.

POLICY INITIATIVES FOR PORT

DEVELOPMENT:
Construction/Development of Deep-drafted berths,
Cargo-specific specialized berths and mechanized berths
Installation of modern cargo handling equipment such as
conveyors, higher capacity versatile mobile harbour
cranes and container equipment
Replacement of old, out-dated low capacity cargo
handling equipment with high capacity ultra modern
equipment
Development of deep-drafted navigational channels with
modern navigational equipment

PROJECTS ON MODERNISATION OF
PORT OPERATIONS
Vessel Traffic Management System (VTMS)
Surveillance System(CCTV) and Safety System
Comprehensive Computerization covering all activities/ERP
Solution with Port Operation System (POS)
Port Community System (PCS)
Automatic Identification System(AIS)
Bio Metric Access Control/Access Control with boom barrier,
turnstyle gates is being implemented
Container Scanners
Modern Gate-entry and Gate-out logistics systems

Proposed Initiatives for promoting

coastal shipping
Grant Scheme for Promoting Modal Shift
Rationalization of Taxes and duties
Facilitation of bank credit for procurement
of vessels
Assured Cargo mechanism

Proposed Policy Measures for

supporting ship-building and shipping

Facilitating access to funds for construction

of ships as well as for ship acquisition.
Long term cargo support scheme- by tie-ups
between PSUs and the shipping companies.
Rationalising tax structure- creating an
enabling environment for investment in the
shipping and ship-building sector.

Scope for collaboration in Coastal

Shipping
Need to encourage coastal shipping
Potential for both cargo and passenger
movement.
Ro-ro vessels can be used in coastal movement
for which infrastructure needs to be improved.
Super speed ferries for transport in the island
states, along the coast line and with
neighbouring countries.
LNG fuel based vessels to be encouraged.

Collaborative Areas in shipbuilding

1. Ship Design
Ship design capabilities with shipyards not fully
established
Reason: Small scale of shipbuilding industry in India
Shipyards currently procure ship designs from China,
Korea, Japan and Norway.
Basic Ship Design remains a major area of development
for Indian shipyards foreign collaboration improve
capabilities
18

Collaborative Areas in shipbuilding

2. Ancillary Development
Currently, 40- 70% of ancillary components and materials
used in shipbuilding are imported
Reason: Shipbuilding industry in India has not
reached critical size
Currently, Indian shipyards procure ancillary
components from China, Korea, Japan and Norway.
Collaboration on ancillary development will reduce costs
and increase access to quality ancillary components for
Indian shipyards
19

Collaborative Areas in Shipbuilding

3. Production Technology
Currently, shipbuilding is less automated and more labor
intensive than the industry in other countries (Korea and
Japan)
Reason: Current Demographics and Market Size in
India
Collaboration on providing access to latest ship
construction technology to further improve output of
Indian shipyards
20

Increased collaboration with international

players necessary-Way Ahead...
Co-ordinated and integrated Maritime development
and to create 3.2 billion tonnes capacity by 2020 by
optimization of public and private investments and to
provide world class quality of Port and Shipping
Services by attaining international standards of
productivity and efficiency
