WHAT TURN IS INDIA’S SHIPPING

SECTOR TAKING?

India’s Maritime Export

Import trade has been growing

at a rate of ~4.5% year on year

(5 year volume CAGR) and

accounts for ~95% of total EXIM

trade volume for India. India’s

main trade commodities are

Crude and Petroleum products,

Bulk commodities such as Coal,

Iron Ore and Containerized

cargo. The growth in expected to

remain strong, with 5-10% CAGR

for most commodities over the

next 10 years.

CONFERENCES AND B2B MEETS

The concurrent conference

aims to foster interaction be-

tween stakeholders through B2B

and G2B meetings; and will have

special sessions on investment

opportunities in Maritime Sector

with focus on ship building, ship

repair, ship recycling, dredger/

barge manufacturing, setting up

of new ports and capacity aug-

mentation of existing ports, de-

velopment of inland waterways

for cargo and passenger transpor-

tation, coastal shipping, passen-

ger ferry services, lighthouse and

cruise tourism, island develop-ment and aquatic resources, mar-

itime cluster development and

All for Coastal Shipping and Inland Waterways

Need to make the right moves, and right now

▶ It is estimated that using the right infrastructure and institutional support, India can coastally move 155 to 160 MMTPA of coal,and save around INR 6,500 Crores per annum, by 2020.

▶ This will help to save 1 lakh rail-rake days that can be used for other commodities.▶ Since logistics contribute 30 to 35 percent of the cost of power generation, this initiative will also directly cut power costs by

50 paisa per unit for coastal power plants fed coal coastally.▶ More than 90 percent of the rail routes relevant to coal are running at over 100 percent utilization.▶ With the expected ramp-up in coal production by Coal India Limited, India may need to move 1,000 to 1,200 MMTPA coal

across the country by 2025, creating tremendous pressure on the already congested railways.▶ A similar comparison of logistics cost for plant to demand centre for ve other key commodities—POL, steel, cement,

fertilizers, and food grains reveals a total potential of 70 to 80 MMTPA coastal movement▶

Potential savings of INR 4,500-5,600 Crores per annum for the above commodities▶ It is estimated that coastal shipping of about 180-200 MMTPA can be achieved from current and planned capacities across

coal, cement, iron and steel, food grains, fertilizers, POL by 2025.▶ This would translate into estimated INR 10,000-15,000 Crores saving annually.

Making a beginning – Inland Waterways and Coastal Shipping to bear fruit soon

▶ Speaking at a recent seminar Minister of Shipping, GoI, Mr. Nitin Gadkar emphasised upon the need to reduce logistics cost toenable the success of ‘Make in India’ initiative.

▶ Among the initiatives already on are mechanization, modernisation and capacity addition in the port sector spurred by aninvestment of Rs.80,000 crore. Mr. Gadkari apprised that an Indian Port Rail Company has been established with a thrust onrail road connectivity.

▶ The minister elaborated that 3 new ports i.e. Vadhavan (Maharashtra) with dra of 18 mtrs, Sagar (West Bengal) with dra of14.5 mtrs and Kolachel (Tamil Nadu) with dra of 18.5 mtrs are being developed.

▶ With a renewed focus on developing Inland Waterways which is globally recognized as fuel ecient, cost eective and

environment friendly mode of transport, the Shipping Ministry is building three multi-modal hubs at Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh,Sahibganj in Jharkhand and Haldia in West Bengal, across river Ganga.

▶ Mr. Gadkari informed that there is a proposal to build 2,000 water ports over the next 5 years. Also underway is the initiativeto use LNG as bunker fuel which would reduce the overall cost for the sector.

MARITIME INDIA SUMMIT 2016 | EVENT

PLANTING THE COASTAL ROOT

India’s economy has surged

ahead in recent years. The

pressures of a growing

economy have naturally pushed

its transport system to full

capacity. The movement of

bulk commodities is one of the

major responsibilities of India’s

transportation system. Thermalcoal alone accounts for around

61 percent of the freight volume

on the Indian Railways and 24

percent of the seaport freight mix

A comparison:

Rail to Coastal Shipping

BY RAIL

In 2013–14, nearly 740 MMTPA

of coal moved through the

country predominantly

through rail.

Costs INR 1.2 to 1.4 per tonne km

BY COASTAL SHIPPING

Only 23 MMTPA moved through

coastal shipping

Costs one-sixth that of rail cost

(INR 0.2 per tonne km

Water currently contributes

less than 10 percent to India’s

modal mix. China uses its in-

land waterways to transportraw material and finished goods

between Eastern and Western

provinces; water contributes 24

percent to China’s freight modal

mix. Australia carries 17 percent

of goods through coastal ship-

ping. In Germany, 11 percent of

goods are moved through inland

waterways and coastal ship-

ping. A strong economic case for

coastal movement can be made

for most of the key commodities

in our study.

CREATING COASTAL

INFRASTRUCTURE

One major reason that coastal

shipping has been unable to pick

up in the country is due to the

lack of suitable infrastructure

that enables movement through

coast. Hence availability of dedi-

cated infrastructure will go a long

way in promoting coastal ship-

ping as a mode of freight trans-

portation. Infrastructure at ports

and supporting infrastructure

using rail/road to facilitate coast-

al movement are the immediate

imperatives.

▶ Dedicated coastal shipping berths,bunkering, storage at relevant ports

▶ Creation of supporting transportinfrastructure (e.g., Talcher-Paradiprailway line), slurry pipelines etc

▶ Last mile connectivity projects withindustrial areas

▶ Appropriate ship-repairing ship-repairing/ship-building facilities on keyports; currently most of the ship repairs

happen outside the country

▶ Dedicated capacity eet under shippingcompanies

▶ Management of dedicated coastalberths(if any) and their operations

Highways and

Shipping, Government of India,Chief Guest, in his key note

address appealed to the corporate

sector to have a more direct and

continuous interaction with the

government for improving the

share of coastal shipping. He

stated that it is high time that

“shipping” gets the status of

“infrastructure” and accordingly

should receive fiscal incentives.

Underlining the link between

efficiency of logistics sector

and social welfare in terms of

poverty eradication, Mr. Gadkari

highlighted the importance of

Coastal shipping naming the

Sagarmala Project, and the

employment opportunities for

local youth and its economic

implications.

Ms. Mireille ROMBONI-

LASSERRE, French Regional

Customs Counsellor, Asia/Pacific

mentioned that French Customs

have implemented a single

window systems, integrating17 agencies and it was observed

that 93% custom clearances are

released in less than 5 minutes.

She informed the audience that

France is ranked no. 1 by World

Bank in Ease of Doing Business

for “trading across borders” based

on extensive simplification of

procedures.

1ST SUEZCANAL GLOBAL

CONFERENCEHELD IN CAIRO

The new deeper Suez

Canal will be a ben-

eficiary of the ‘OneBelt One Road’ initia-

tive taken by China’s

charismatic leader Xi Jinping,

especially when it comes to the

opening up of the Iranian market

following the lifting of interna-

tional sanctions and the moving

into importance of the Indian re-

finery markets, according to Denis

Petropoulos, President of Braemar

Shipping Services Asia.

Speaking at the 1st Suez Canal

Global Conference in Cairo, Mr

Petropoulos said ‘One Belt One

Road’ was not just about China but

reached into around 60 countries:

“many with increasing energy

needs, and the Suez Canal playing

its very essential part.”

“Iran’s trading alliances in Asia

remain strong but with the lifting

of sanctions the opportunities for

Iran are opened further, with long

standing historical trading part-

ners in Southern Europe and theirdemand for Iranian crude oil, all

likely to be transported through

the Suez Canal and the Sumed

pipeline,” said Mr Petropoulos.

“In the 1970s and 1980s, the

trend for crude oil produced in

the Middle East was for Western

demand but by the turn of this

century the trend reversed with

Middle East producers supplying

the East. However Middle East

refineries are also producing prod-ucts for the region and are now

exporting large amounts of prod-

ucts to global destinations as prof-

itable trade, as well as a hedge to

reduction in OPEC crude quotas.

North East Asia is also producing

gasoil which will find itself in the

West. Major traders are fixing

new building aframaxes and su-

ezmaxes to load cargos of gasoilfrom refineries in Japan and Ko-

rea all transiting the Suez Canal,”

he said.

As Mr Petropoulos stressed,

in addition, India’s refinery pro-

grammes in the private sector

have been very forward looking

and they now export products

with limited or reduced refinery

capacity, particularly in North

West Europe. “Those cargoes will

transit the Suez Canal. With the

demand for power combined with

emissions, the LNG space is grow-

ing significantly and there has

been an increase in LNG transit-

ing the Suez Canal in the last 10

years.” Since the completion of the

new dual carriage, the new Suez

Canal will be able to handle almost

twice the traffic, he said. “And

providing it remains commercial-

ly viable, this will lead to greater

numbers of vessels navigating at

both Suez and Port Said. In anyenvironment where there is in-

creased traffic there is increased

risk of incident,” he warned.

EVENT | SHIPPING

India’s renery programs in the private sector can now lookforward to service locations with limited or reduced renerycapacity particularly in North West Europe via the Suez Canal.

Since the completion of

the new dual carriage,the new Suez Canal willbe able to handle almost

twice the trac. Majortraders are xing newbuilding aframaxes and

suezmaxes to load cargosof gasoil from reneriesin Japan and Korea alltransiting the Suez Canal.

HAPAG-LLOYD SHOWS65 PERCENT RISE ININCORRECTLYDECLARED DANGEROUSGOODS IN 2015

IMO RELEASESINFOGRAPHICON ‘HOW THEPOLAR CODEPROTECTS THEENVIRONMENT’

Hapag-Lloyd re-

ports having regis-

tered considerably

more incorrectly

declared danger-

ous goods last year, compared to

2014. The Watchdog program de-

veloped jointly by Hapag-Lloyd’s

IT and dangerous goods experts

– a special safety software that

continuously checks cargo data

to identify anything conspicuous

identified 4,314 incorrectly de-clared dangerous goods cases last

year. This is an increase of 65 per-

cent on the previous year’s figure

of 2,620 cases.

Hapag-Lloyd’s dangerous goods

experts looked into more than

236,000 suspicious cases picked

up by the safety software in 2015

(2014: more than 162,000) – that’s

equivalent to an increase of ap-

proximately 46 percent. Danger-

ous goods that are declared im-precisely, incorrectly or not at all

have the potential to pose a major

risk to crews, ships, other cargo

and the environment.

For Ken Rohlmann, head of

the dangerous goods depart-

A new IMO infographic

illustrating “How the

Polar Code protects the

environment” has been

launched in six languag-

es. It depicts the various environmen-

tal requirements and recommenda-

tions of the Polar Code relating to oil,

sewage, garbage, chemicals and inva-

sive species. Download the infograph-

ic in: Arabic, Chinese, English,French,

Russian and Spanish. This builds on a

previous infographic showing what

the Polar Code means for ship safety.

The International Code for Ships

Operating in Polar Waters (Polar Code)

will enter into force on 1 January 2017

and applies to ships operating in Arctic

and Antarctic waters. It provides for

safe ship operation and protects the

environment by addressing the unique

risks present in polar waters but not

covered by other treaties.

ment at Hapag-Lloyd, there are

two reasons behind the sharp

increase: “Firstly, the volume of

cargo shipped by Hapag-Lloyd

increased considerably last year

due to the company’s merger

with CSAV’s container business.

Secondly, there was a sharp rise

in Watchdog findings following

the devastating dangerous goods

explosion in the port of Tianjin

in mid-August”, says Rohlmann.

Many ports drastically tightenedtheir dangerous goods guidelines

in the wake of the incident or

even prohibited dangerous goods

from being processed at all.

Hapag-Lloyd said that its

“Watchdog” has been subject to a

lot of interest from customs and

port authorities, police, as well

as from other shipping compa-

nies. Ken Rohlmann: “With the

software, our industry can con-

siderably reduce the risk posedto crews, ships, cargo and the

environment.” After all, it’s in the

interests of everyone involved

that the entire shipping system

should be made safer, emphasises

the dangerous goods expert.

SHIPPING | GLOBAL IMPACT

PIRATES HACK SHIPPINGCOMPANY WEBSITE TOTARGET VESSELS

Tech-savvy pirates once

breached the servers of a

global shipping company to

locate the exact vessel and cargo

containers they wanted to plun-

der, according to a new report from

Verizon’s cybersecurity team.

“They’d board the vessel, locateby bar code specific sought-after

crates containing valuables, steal

the contents of that crate — and

that crate only — and then depart

the vessel without further inci-

dent,” says the report, Verizon’s

Data Breach Digest.

Verizon released the report de-

tailing 18 case studies among hun-

dreds its RISK Team (Research,

Investigations, Solutions, and

Knowledge) investigated ahead of

a talk at the RSA Conference, one

of the world’s largest information

security conferences.

While piracy is a common prob-

lem for global shipping, the un-

named company contacted RISK

after a group of pirates started

acting differently than in the past.

Usually, pirates would capture a

vessel, then hold its crew hostage

until a ransom was paid.

But this group instead would

board a ship and then leave soon

after, leaving the company suspi-

cious. As usual, the pirates wouldboard the ship and herd the crew

into one area. But a few hours lat-

er, the crew would come out and

they would be gone, with only

certain cargo containers opened.

As Verizon’s investigation un-

covered, the pirates had uploaded

malicious software onto the com-

pany’s content management sys-

tem, allowing them to access data

such as bills of lading for future

shipments. With this information,

the hackers would know exactly

where to look on the ships they

were after.

While more sophisticated than

your average pirates, they made

plenty of mistakes that ultimate-

ly made them easier to stop. The

pirates didn’t use proxies to hide

their network address, and they

sent all of their commands over

the web in plain text, which al-

lowed RISK to get a clear picture

of every command they had ever

issued.

“These threat actors, whilegiven points for creativity, were

clearly not highly skilled,” the re-

port says. “For instance, we found

numerous mistyped commands

and observed the threat actors

constantly struggled with the

compromised servers.”

Once the pirates were figured

out, the company then shut down

the servers, changed passwords,

and blocked the attackers’ IP ad-

dresses.

PARIS CLIMATE TARGET ‘IMPOSSIBLE’ WITHOUTCURBING SHIPPING EMISSIONS

shipping’s growing contribution to

greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.Sotiris Raptis, shipping officer at

T&E, said: “We welcome the new

IMO secretary-general, who is

coming to office at a key moment

following the Paris agreement. We

are sure Secretary-General Kitack

Lim fully understands the need

for the IMO to act now. The EU in

parallel needs to include shipping

in its 2030 reduction commitment

now and in the EU ETS or in an

EU climate fund from 2021.”John Maggs, senior policy advi-

sor at Seas At Risk, said: “There is

no reasonable excuse to continue

exempting the sector from the

global and EU climate policies.

That shipping needs to make its

fair share of cuts to keep global warming well below 2

degrees is not negotiable after Paris.”The European Parliament’s study took into account

the IMO’s own research which found that shipping

GHG emissions are up 70% since 1990 and are project-

ed to grow by up to a further 250% by 2050. Shipping

currently accounts for nearly 3% of global CO2 emis-

sions – higher than those of Canada, Brazil, Indonesia,

Mexico, France or the United Kingdom.

Seas At Risk and T&E are members of the Clean

Shipping Coalition , which has observer status at the

IMO.

Shipping could be responsible for 17% of global CO2 emissions in 2050 if leunregulated, according to an EU study, placing climate action rmly at the top of the EUcommissioners’ and IMO secretary-general’s agendas at their meet in Brussels.

The 1.5/2°C warming limit

agreed at the Paris climatesummit will be impossible

to meet unless Europe and the

HIGH SPEED CATAMARANFERRY LENDS TOP LUXURY

TO ANDAMAN ISLANDS’TRAVEL

Seven years since inception the ferry completes ferrying over 10 lakh. Reputed as oneof the fastest ferries, M.V. MAKRUZZ also oers exemplary comfort and a hassle-freeexperience.

India’s most remote desti-

nation, the Andaman and

Nicobar Islands situated

more than 1000kms off

the east coast in the mid-

dle of the Bay of Bengal, can be

described as nothing short of

an Island paradise. The 500 odd

specks of emerald green nestled

in the vast expanse of aquama-

rine blues of the Indian Ocean,

boasts of snow white beaches,

flourishing evergreen forests,

kaleidoscopic coral reefs and a

bustling aquatic life. Port Blair,

the capital city, is the major port

of entry for most visitors travel-

ling to the islands either through

flights or ferries..

The most celebrated of des-

tinations within the islands is

Havelock, known for housing

Asia’s best beach. Flanked by

resorts, the mesmerizing locales

of Havelock can capture the

imagination of the most expe-

rienced of travelers. Neil Island

has increasingly also come into

the limelight for being the virgin

and more pristine counterpart of

Havelock. Although parts of the

archipelago still see few visitors,

the Andaman’s are now firmly

on the tourist circuit, with tour-

ists arrivals at an all time high of

300,000. This has indeed pre-

sented a host of opportunities in

the tourism sector and local busi-

nesses have rushed to derive the

first mover advantage.MAK LOGISTICS COMMENCES

Jadwet, CS Ashok and Krishnen-

du Kundu, was floated on 27th

February 2003 as MAK Lines

and later converted to MAK

LOGISTICS (P) Ltd on 4th May

2007. The company commenced

operations with three cargo ves-

sels ranging from 700DWT to

2000DWT in size, for the pur-

pose of inter island trade. These

vessels regularly operated be-tween Port Blair and Nicobar

A rst its kind rm the Private SectrAs a means of diversification and to cater to the burgeoning tourism sector,in the year 2009, the Company took a pioneering initiative to enter into thefield of passenger service by acquiring a high speed catamaran ferry from

Singapore, anointed “M.V MAKRUZZ”. It was the first of its kind from theprivate sector in the islands, as prior to this, the passenger movement waspredominantly controlled by the Government.

This state-of-the-art craft was built in 2002 by Damen Shipyard, Singapore.M.V. MAKRUZZ plies between the islands of Port Blair – Havelock – Neil,with an increased frequency from a single sailing to five, in a day. TheCatamaran is a twin hull vessel which offers a plethora of advantagesranging from speed, stability and space. The fully air conditioned vessel has 2decks with passenger capacity of 280, split into three classes - Premium(208),Deluxe(64) and Royal(8). While the maximum speed is 32 nautical miles,the ferry is cruised at the average speed of 24 nautical miles covering thedistance between Port Blair and Havelock in an estimated 90 minutes. Thevessel also boasts of an inboard Kiosk which is well stocked and caters to allage groups; huge transparent dark glass windows that run throughout theentire length of the ship’s lower deck and upper deck seating area enableseven the passengers seated at the far end to have a personalized view of thepanorama. M.V MAKRUZZ personifies the beauty and friendliness of theDolphin, its mascot, and is synonymous to gracious hospitality, panoramicview, plush interiors and unmatched speed.

4th Top Tourist Attraction in Andaman and Nicobar IslandsThe introduction of this ferry was a pivotal moment for the tourism sector inthe island, paving the way for other entrepreneurs while setting superlativestandards of service, which is worth emulating. Seven years since inception

and the ferry can proudly lay claim to the fact that it has transported bafflingnumbers of people- over 10 lakh. Being one of the fastest ferries in Indiawhilst offering exemplary comfort and a hassle-free experience, has heraldM.V MAKRUZZ from the 7th to the 4th position among the 36 attractions inAndaman and Nicobar Islands as enumerated by TRIP ADVISOR.

First choice among tourists and localsThe professionalized service coupled with luxurious interiors and fastesttravel time has made M.V MAKRUZZ, a favorite and the first choice oftourists and islanders alike, despite the presence of increased competitionover the years. On its initiation, the passenger ferry was dedicated to thetourism industry by the then Hon’ble Lt. Governor of Andaman & Nicobar

Islands, Lt. Gen (Retd) Bhopinder Singh, PVSM, AVSM. The owners and thestaff continue to dedicate immense efforts to improve user experience andaid the growth of Brand Andaman. Today, M.V MAKRUZZ remains not onlya top attraction but also a vital infrastructure in the tourism industry of theislands.

Capt. Arun Karkare, Consultant to a few Greeneld port projects in India cites his experiencein the planning and designing of ports by adopting Simulation Technology. The author

emphasises on the many benets the technology lends to the various stakeholders.

SIMULATION TECHNOLOGYFOR PORTS

Simulation technology

has revolutionized man’s

ability to plan complex

structures such as Ports

and Harbors and then use

it again for their safe and efficient

operations and management..

Among all the man- made struc-tures of recent times nothing is

more awesome and challenging

than designing, planning and con-

structing a deep sea port to handle

mammoth Tankers and Container

Ships and finally commissioning

it to be able to operate safely and

efficiently. It is here that Simula-

tion technology filled the void and

made the whole process almost

risk free in commercial, financial

and technological terms perhaps

in this logical order! Anyone who

is even remotely associated with

Port Industry would agree with

this point of view.

As a marine consultant for two

decades, I have hands on experi-

ence using this marvellous tech-

nological tool in three successive

Greenfield port projects where I

was involved from conception to

inception and finally commission-

ing of these ports by piloting and

berthing the first commercial shipsat berths.SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY FOR

GREENFIELD PORT PROJECTS

The ports of Dhamra in Odis-

ha, Kattupalli in Tamil Nadu and

Angre in Maharashtra have made

extensive use of Simulation Tech-

nology in port infrastructure plan-

ning, cargo operations and training

of port pilots. I have been associat-

ed with each of these ports as the

Chief Marine Consultant. I exten-sively used Simulation technology

to great advantage and saved pre-

cious funds for the owners as this

technology helped me immensely

to fine tune the water front infra-

structure of the port.

Out of the three ports, the most

complex and challenging was

Dhamra port project. The joint

owners were two top corporate

giants TATA Steel and L&T. More-

over the commercial and financial

stakes were very high and therewas substantial technical risk in

designing and planning of 20 nau-

tical miles long Channel (Naviga-

tional Connectivity between the

Port facility and Open Sea) with a

cost estimation of Rs.700 crores.

The owners were looking for a

way to confirm the port layout

plan and design of the water front

infrastructure. I joined Dhamra

port project team in the year 2005.

DHAMRA PORT PROJECT USHERSIN SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY

Simulation technology was al-

ready in full use in the West Eu-

ropean ports but it had not entered

the Indian Port market due to lack

of Greenfield Port Projects. Dham-

ra opened the doors for the entry

of this solution. On my advice,

the owners of Dhamra port con-

ducted Simulation Studies of the

port channel which was the main

risk area of the project as the port

was designed to handle vessels of1,80,000 dwt with 19 m. draught ! I

had to go to a UK based simulation

company, HR Wallingford who

had the necessary software and

equipment. Please refer to graph-

ic pictures of Dhamra simulation

studies.

Let us see how the Simulation

technology works for port projects.

The port owner has to provide the

basic inputs such as preliminary

designs and engineering drawingof port layout of jetties, berths,

docks, turning circles, basin, chan-

nels, size of ship, cargo handling

system, buoyage system, pilotage

system, manoeuver-details, train-

ing curriculum, prominent land

marks such as light houses, bea-

cons and shore markings.THE PROCESS

After receiving the technical

and engineering details the simu-

lation engineer starts creating the

software that forms the basic de-

sign of the simulation picture and

creates virtual reality as if the port

is ready to receive the ships. In the

meantime the simulation compa-

ny sends the videographers and

special photographers to the port

site to photograph and video graph

the entire panoramic as well as mi-

croscopic views as will be visible to

the pilot bringing the ship inside

the port. In simulation technology

two types of imagery are created

in the software specifically. One ofthe two types is called static imag-

ery which is the synchronized pic-

ture view of the port layout as seen

from the bird’s eye as well as from

the water front level. The second

type of imagery is called dynamic

which shows the movements of

the water, ships, buoys and other

crafts created for showing traffic

that may occur in the port in an

operational scenario when the

port is commissioned.STAKEHOLDER BENEFITS

The simulation report is sent

out in two parts. One part is a re-

porting on fixed layouts and it re-

flects the pros and cons of causing

changes and accordingly the port

owner is advised to correct, add

or omit or reorient the layouts. It

also lends more prior information

to banks, financial institutes and

other investors with the financial

and commercial implications of

the design before investing in ac-

tual construction. However, navi-gation simulation and consultancy

for training of port pilots is a very

important output from such stud-

ies. The full scale trial runs, free

running and captive model tests,

mathematical prediction and sim-

ulation of specialized manoeuvres

of large and complex vessels helps

to minimize future maritime disas-

ters in the port. The real time ship

handling and manoeuvring simu-

lator is widely used by pilots, ship

operators, naval architects and

port authorities to enable effective

training and to evaluate harbour

layouts at the planning stage.

The simulation system has a

wide range of high fidelity ship

models which can interact with

varied environmental conditions

specific to a port in question and

tugs to produce realistic behaviour.

Currently, in India quality sim-

ulation studies can be conducted

at centers situated at Mumbai and

Delhi where the author is attachedas simulation expert (BMT at

Mumbai and ARI at Delhi). Recent-

ly Indian Navy and JNPT have or-

dered simulation studies for their

projects with BMT.

SAGARMALA PROGRAMME IDENTIFIES OVER150 PORT INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

More than 150 projects have been

identified as part of the National

Perspective Plan (NPP) under

the ambitious Sagarmala Programme.

The projects will mobilize more than

Rs. 4 lac crore of investment and enable

creation of 1 crore new jobs, including 40

lac direct jobs, in the next 10 years. These

projects have been identified across the

areas of Port Modernization & New

Port Development, Port Connectivity

Enhancement, Port-led IndustrialDevelopment and Coastal Community

Development.

The Sagarmala Programme of the

Government of India aims to promote

port-led development in the country

by harnessing India’s 7,500 km long

coastline, 14,500 km of potentially

navigable waterways and strategic

location on key international maritime

trade routes. A National Perspective

Plan has been developed under this

programme for the comprehensivedevelopment of India’s coastline and

maritime sector.PORT MODERNIZATION & NEW PORT

DEVELOPMENT

To meet the future growth in cargo

volumes, 50 projects have been identified

to increase the port capacity from 1400

MMTPA to 2500 MMTPA by 2025, at an

investment of Rs. 1 lac crore. These proj-

ects include capacity augmentation at ex-

isting ports and development of 5-6 new

ports, including a trans-shipment hub. In

addition, 104 initiatives have been identi-

fied to improve major port efficiency.PORT CONNECTIVITY ENHANCEMENT

65 projects have been proposed at an

investment of more than Rs. 2 lac crores

to enhance the port-connectivity to thecountry’s production and consumption

centers. This includes10,000 km of last

mile port-connectivity infrastructure, 12

new freight expressways, heavy haul rail

corridor to transport coal, new pipelines

for transporting crude and petroleum

products, development of prioritized

inland waterways and new multi-modal

logistics hubs.PORT-LED INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

For promoting port-led industrial

development, 14 Coastal Economic Zonescovering all the Maritime States and

Union Territories have been proposed.

These include 13 port-based discrete

manufacturing clusters, in the labour

intensive sectors of electronics, apparel,

leather products, furniture and food-

processing, and 14 large coastal clusters

for basic input industries such as power,

refineries & petrochemicals, steel and

downstream industries (Shipbuilding,

Automotive), and cement. Setting up

infrastructure for these clusters will

require an investment of Rs. 1 lac crore

and will attract an additional Rs. 7 lac

crore of industrial investment. These

clusters are expected to boost India’s

merchandize exports by USD 110 Billion

by 2025.COASTAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

As part of Sagarmala’s objective

of coastal community development,

skilling, fishermen and other community

development projects have also been

identified. Setting up of a Community

Development Fund is envisaged to

enable these coastal communities’ related

projects and initiatives.

All the above projects will be showcased

in the maiden Maritime India Summit

2016, for attracting potential investorsand their implementation will be taken

up starting FY 16-17. The Ministry of

Shipping is also conducting stakeholder

consultations with the Maritime States

and Central Ministries to finalize the NPP

by March 2016.

IRCLASS CONTINUES

ITS CONTRIBUTION TO‘MAKE IN INDIA’Develops Rules for Indian Coast Guard Ships. While the Rules have been made simplerand user friendly, the special requirements that are relevant to Coast Guard Shipscontinue to be retained.’

The “Rules and Regula-

tions for Construction

and Classification of

Indian Coast Guard

Ships”, developed by

the Indian Register of Shipping

(IRS) were formally released by

the Director General Indian Coast

Guard, Vice Admiral HCS Bisht

AVSM at a ceremony held at the

Indian Coast Guard Headquarters,

New Delhi. The Chairman and

Managing Director of the Indian

Register of Shipping, Mr Arun

Sharma formally presented theRules for release.

Speaking on the occasion, In-

spector General SK Goyal PTM

TM, Dy. Director General (Mate-

rial and Maintenance), dwelt upon

the long association of the IRS

with the ICG, since the early ‘80s,

when the indigenous construction

of Coast Guard Offshore Patrol

Vessels commenced at Mazagon

Docks Ltd., at Mumbai. He stated

that the first IRS Rules for Con-struction and Classification of

Indian Coast Guard Ships were

initially published in 2008. Over

time, with gaining of experience in

their usage, it was realised that the

Rules required review and modifi-

cation to better suit the operating

conditions and requirements of

Coast Guard ships. He stated that

the Coast Guard had been closely

involved in the formulation of the

new Rules.

Mr. Arun Sharma responded by

stating while the original Rules

for Coast Guard ships had been

based on the Rules for Indian Na-

val non- combatant ships, the new

Rules are largely derived from the

IRS Rules for High Speed Craft and

Light Craft which are more ap-

propriate for application to patrolvessels. In addition, applicable fea-

tures of the Rules for non-combat-

ant Naval Ships have also been re-

tained. Comments from shipyards

have also been incorporated, prior

to approval by the IRS Technical

Committee. ‘Thus, while the Rules

have been made simpler and user

friendly, the special requirements

that are relevant to Coast Guard

Ships continue to be retained.’

CMD IRS thanked the CoastGuard for their active involve-

ment during the formulation of

the Rules. He stated that the Rules

would be made available on the

IRS web site for downloading by

authorized external users and

would be periodically updated,

based on the experience and fu-

ture technological developments.

He added that the release of the

Rules is very significant for the

national mission of developing in-

digenous capability in shipbuilding

for the Coast Guard.

Director General Indian Coast

Guard congratulated IRS on the

development of the rules and said

“with emphasis on ‘Make in India’

by the government, these rules

will help in supporting indigenous

ship building in India, with promi-nence on excellence in design and

quality construction of ICG ships”.

Additional DG, Rajender Singh

PTM TM, all Deputy Director Gen-

erals, all Principal Directors and

other senior officers of the Coast

Guard Headquarters were present

at the release. IRS Chairman was

accompanied by a team of senior

executives from IRS comprising

Vice Admiral BS Randhawa PVSM

AVSM VSM (retd), Principal NavalAdvisor, Mr Ravi Sachdeva, Chief

Surveyor and Senior Vice Presi-

dent, Mr N Girish, Head Research

& Development and Commander

KK Dhawan (retd), Head Defence

Services.

While the original Rules

for Coast Guard ships hadbeen based on the Rules

for Indian Naval non-combatant ships, the newRules are largely derived

from the IRS Rules forHigh Speed Cra andLight Cra which aremore appropriate for

application to patrol

vessels.

yard Limited and Mr. James Ra-jan, Director, Service Unit South

Asia, Wärtsilä India in the pres-

ence of CMD, CSL and other se-

nior officials of Cochin Shipyard

Limited and Wärtsilä India.

With this MOU, CSL is expected

to attract more ship-repair busi-

ness at its present facility. The

agreement also gives Wärtsilä an

opportunity to set up an Original

Equipment Manufacturer centre

(OEM) at the Cochin Port Trust

Area in the future.

been put to minimal use in the

past – was revamped and put into

operation by CSL, with employees

being re-skilled and retrained.

Since then, the ship-repair facil-

▶Performance: The demonstrated

performance of the RayCleanTM system

is second to none. The system has been

tested according to both IMO and USCG

requirements, at USCG approved test

facilities and under the supervision

of accredited USCG Independent

Laboratory, DNV GL. This ensures the

highest level of test independence and

scrutiny of all aspects of the system.

The RayCleanTM system has proven

its performance in all salinities (fresh,

brackish, and marine water) and down

to a record-level low UV-Transmissionof just 33%.

▶Operational costs: Everywhere

in the system we use high quality

components and materials in order

to ensure long lifetime and minimum

need for maintenance. As an example

we use highly ecient low-pressure

UV lamps with a staggering lifetime of

12,000 operating hours. This means you

will only have to replace the UV lamps

once or twice in the lifetime of a vessel!In addition, the power consumption

is extremely low, just 21 kW per

300 m3/h ow when the water is dirty

and the system is running at max

power. In cleaner water conditions the

power consumption drops to 11 kW per

300 m3/h.

▶Safety: For us the safety is of

paramount importance. Both safety

for the crew, the vessel and the

environment. Therefore the system

utilizes or generates no chemicals

or active substances. Neither for

the treatment process, nor for the

cleaning of the system. In addition the

used low pressure UV lamps contains

no liquid mercury, but just amalgam

in solid form. This means that if you

accidentally break a low pressure UV

lamp, cleaning is simple and without

any risks. In comparison the widely

used medium pressure UV lamps

contains mercury in liquid form, which

imposes strict requirements to crew

education and safety equipment in case

a medium pressure UV lamp breaks

▶In fact we are so convinced about

the true market leadership of the

RayCleanTM system that we invite youto compare the RayCleanTM system to

any other system.

▶Our BWTS can be oered from a Flow

rate of 100m3/hr to 3000m3/hr.

The RayCleanTM system is second to none in the industry.

This leadership is obtained for a number of reasons:
