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
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
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
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 …
