Apart from the existing vessels on order, SCI currently has plans to order an additional 20 vessels in FY 2011 with total

shipping companies to own and operate three LNG tankers as well as operate and manage two additional ones, making them the first Indian shipping company to operate

FPO Note – Shipping Corporation of India
November 30, 2010
Industry Overview
The shipping industry is fundamental to international trade, being the only practicable and cost effective means of
transporting large volumes of many essential commodities and finished goods. In 2008, total annual world seaborne trade
amounted to 8.7 billion tonnes of goods (loaded). Dry cargo, including bulk, break bulk and containerized cargo, accounted
for the largest share of goods loaded (66.3%) while oil and related products made up the balance. The United Nations
Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) estimates that the operation of merchant ships contributes about US$380
billion (Rs. 17,069.60 billion) in freight rates within the global economy, equivalent to about 5% of total world trade.
Significant opportunities exist in the domestic markets for diversified shipping players like SCI. The economy is growing at a
healthy pace with Indian exports and imports having grown 21.4% and 23.2% over the previous year. Furthermore, the
domestic Cabotage Law gives preference to Indian flagged vessels over foreign players in coastal trade, opening several
opportunities for SCI. Demand for shipping has also advanced on account of the increased imports of crude oil and growing
demand for coal from the power sector. Approximately, 9.5% of India’s overseas trade is carried by the Indian merchant
fleet.
Business Overview
SCI was incorporated as the Eastern Shipping Corporation Limited on March 24, 1950 under the Companies Act, 1913 in
Mumbai. It is one of India’s largest shipping companies in terms of Indian flagged tonnage, with approximately a 35.0%
share of Indian flagged tonnage as of June 30, 2010. Its existing business operations are divided into the following three
divisions: (1) Bulk carrier and tanker, (2) Liner and passenger services, and (3) Technical and offshore services. As of
October 31, 2010, SCI owned a fleet of 77 vessels of 5.37 million dead weight tonnage (DWT). Its fleet includes dry bulk
carriers, very large crude carrier (VLCC) tankers, crude oil tankers, product tankers, container vessels, passenger-cum-
cargo vessels, phosphoric acid and chemical carriers, LPG and ammonia carriers, and offshore supply vessels.
SCI caters primarily to Government agencies, large industrial concerns, international oil companies and public sector
undertakings. It has entered into six strategic joint ventures which is likely to provide it with various advantages and
access to markets it would have otherwise not enjoyed. According to the International Monetary Fund, since general
economic conditions have improved, the world trade volume is expected to grow at 9.0% and 6.3% in 2010 and 2011,
respectively.
SCI has worldwide operations supported by offices in the four metros of India, namely Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai and
Kolkata as well as an office in London. In 1990, SCI signed its first Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the
Government specifying performance and operational targets. The Government bestowed the status of “Navratna” on the
company in August 2008 leading to enhanced delegation of powers to the Board, including, but not limited to, the areas
of capital investment, formation of joint venture, and opening of new offices.
