Testimonials
Hear What Attendees Are Saying
As far as port infrastructure is concerned, there has been some inadequacy in the infrastructure but the actions taken in the recent past have led to creation of substantial additional capacity in the Indian ports.
SMP World Expo is a wonderful platform for the shipping industry wherein the key stakeholders can not only network with each other but also chart the path ahead for the Indian shipping industry.
In spite of allowing 100% FDI in ports and shipping, we have not yet received a positive response from foreign investors. The establishment of Confederation of Indian Maritime Associations should be taken up on a priority basis.
“The government has been continuously trying to encourage the shipping industry since decades through various sops and the industry has also responded well with outstanding performance."
Government encourages new investment in port development through Public-Private Sector partnership. Indian Ports have been able to attract leading Port and Terminal operators as private sector partners from India and abroad.
Inland Waterways have been the foremost importance for Govt of India's Jal Marg Vikas Project and Sagarmala initiative to develop National Waterways.
SMP has brought all the stakeholders together to share all the commercial, technical and other aspects, which will benefit all stakeholders including shipowners, shipbuilders and other personnel from the industry. ”
Indian fleet today caters to only 13% of International Trade and even if we want to maintain 13%Share, we require an investment of more than $200 billion.
“While the policy measures augur well for the development of the sector, at the ground level a number of gaps at planning and implementation remain significant because of various procedural and systemic issues. The resolution of these remains critical for the growth of the sector.”
Safety and security system for ship and ports are very importants. Today, 1000 Ships move at our ports. Marine casualty Investigation Bureau looks after search and rescue facilities.
A huge capacity build up has taken place suddenly in shipyards across the world. In India new shipyards have been set up such as Pipavav many others have gone for expansions, which is going to set severe competition in the near future.”
Ports serve as gateways to international trade. Major Ports in India handled 463.84 million tones of cargo in 2006 – 07, which will go up to over 1000 million tones from 2007 – 08 to 2011 – 12.
