Indian Shipping Companies

Indian shipping companies formerly traded primarily in cotton, pepper, and other spices, but now the shipping industry has grown in expanse and stature. India has a vast 7500 kilometer coastline, and the country also has had a rich maritime history dating back thousands of years. The Indian shipping industry consists of 616 ships, with a total capacity of 6.62 million tons Gross Registered Tonnage (GRT). 258 ships belonging to different shipping companies are involved in overseas trade and the rest ply inland routes. Some major shipping companies dominate the shipping industry sector. They are the public sector company, The Shipping Corporation Of Indi, and the private sector companies like Great Eastern Shipping, Essar Shipping, Chowgule Shipping and Varun Shipping.


India's shipping industry has hit rough weather in recent times. Even with the rapid increase in import-export trade in this sector, the shipping sector and ports have not gained. The situation is ironic because it was in India (Lothal) around 2500 BC that the world's first tidal dock was built.


Balakot and Dwarka were other major ports. India had established trade with Mesopotamia and also with the west. Over the years, India has offered free and fair competition to all shipping companies over the years.


In the past two years, the global oil trade and overall growth in trade have helped Indian shipping companies to improve their financial performance. The International Maritime Organization (IMO), the shipping regulatory authority, has imposed strict regulations on the shipping industry which have helped the industry's growth prospects. Moreover, creation of ITT and the implementation of tonnage tax in the previous budget have increased the profit percentages of the companies. Other issues, like freight rates, demand for tonnage, and profitability are closely linked to the general progress of the shipping companies.


The Indian National Shipowners Association wants customs duty exemptions for imported ship spares and ship repair equipments. They also want the 5% customs duty to be exempted for certain categories of vessels. Another of their demands is equality of income tax treatment of both Indian and foreign flagged ship seafarers.

Twice in the history of Indian shipping companies, in 1995-96 and 1999-2000 the tonnage crossed 7 million GRT. The recent freight market upsurge has prompted ship owners to go on an acquisition spree. At the same time, the tanker market has also witnessed a huge rise in rates. It is expected that the Indian fleet will cross the 10 million GRT mark. It was almost the golden era of Indian shipping industry.


The major sea ports of India are at Navi Mumbai, Haldia, Paradwip, Vishakahpatnam, Chennai, Tutikorin, Cochin, Mangalore, and Kandla.

 Assocham foresees Rs 90,000-crore investment in state’s port sector

Express News Service Tags : Associated Chambers of Commerce, Industry of India, ahmedabad Posted: Sat Oct 16 2010, 05:49 hrs


The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) has predicted development of 30 new minor ports along the 1,600-km coastline of the state at an estimated investment of Rs 90,000 crore in the next five years.


Addressing mediapersons on ‘India’s ports, shipping and maritime logistics’, Assocham Gujarat chairman Sunil Kakkad, co-chairperson Bhagyesh Soneji and secretary general D S Rawat, said this would be possible with the state government’s proposed policy of facilitating the landlocked states of northern and central regions to develop dedicated ports on Gujarat coastline.


They said states like Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, J&K, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan had expressed interest in setting up their own ports to meet the needs of business and industry in their states. Assocham, they said, has also recommended adopting a Gujarat-like strategy for development of ports in other coastline states. There are already 43 major and minor ports in the state.


According to them, setting up of new ports would also generate new employment opportunities. Going by the fact that a minor port provides direct and regular employment to at least 500 people and indirect employment in port-related services and logistics would be about 1,500, it would create new job opportunities for at least 60,000 people in the next five year.


At the same time, they said there was acute shortage of trained port staff in the country and with the setting up of new ports, establishing training institutions to produce skilled manpower for port related operations would also be required, thus creating further job opportunities.


They, however, added that certain policy changes at national and state levels were required to facilitate speedy development of ports sector. At present, a number of parallel agencies at the centre and states exercised powers to regulate the port industry, and Assocham wants the government to set up a single body for the purpose.


Another major policy change that Assocham has recommended is the separation of port authority and port operations for realising the growth potential of the sector.



Shipping-Classified
The Indian shipping industry is broadly classified into shipbuilding & transportation. Deadweight tonnage (also known as deadweight) is a measure of how much mass or weight of cargo or burden a ship can safely carry. Deadweight tonnage is the sum of the weights or masses of cargo, fuel, fresh water, ballast water, provisions, passengers and crew. The major types of ships are Panamax, Supramax, Handymax, Ultra Large Crude Carrier, Very Large Crude Carrier, etc. Baltic Exchange Dry Index provides an assessment of the price of moving the major raw materials by sea. Taking in 26 shipping routes measured on a time charter and voyage basis, the index covers Handymax, Panamax, and Capesize dry bulk carriers carrying a range of commodities including coal, iron ore and grain. The ship classification is done based on Dead Weight Tons. Capesize 100,000+ DWT; Panamax 60,000-80,000 DWT; Supramax 45,000-59,000 DWT; Handysize 15,000-35,000 DWT. About 90% of world trade is carried by the international shipping industry. Shipping is regulated globally by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The major ports in India are Chennai, Cochin, Ennore, Jawaharlal Nehru, Kolkata , Haldia, Kandla, Marmugao, Mumbai, New Mangalore, Paradip, Tuticorin & Visakhapatanam. hide
